HomeBBQ.com hosts first event at Austin National Smokers' new shop
The four standard KCBS categories: ribs, chicken, brisket and pork were the order of the day for the 20+ men and women who met May 22, 2004 for a cooking class at the Noblesville, Indiana facility of The Austin National Smoker Company. The class attendees, who came from as far away as California and New York, gathered to learn barbecue secrets from reigning Florida BBQ Association Champions, Kevin and Clara Bevington of HomeBBQ.com.

During the course of the all day event, Kevin shared tips on meat preparation, marinades, injections, cooking, and presentation. At the end of the class, everyone enjoyed the meat that they had spent the day planning and preparing and looked forward to going home and sharing what they had learned with family and friends.

The Austin National Smoker Company is honored that Kevin and Clara held their first cooking class at the company’s facilities, and look forward to hosting many more cooking classes with the Bevingtons in the future.
