2nd EDITION: Competition Style Ribs – Master the Art of Championship BBQ

This Academy will transform you into a top-tier contender in the world of competition ribs. Join Lorenzo Cottelli from Smoky Cotte, a multi-award winner on the KCBS Europe circuit!

After a detailed demonstration—covering everything from injections to rubbing—it’s time to smoke and cook! Utilizing the Hot ‘n Fast method—the technique that revolutionized American BBQ—we will achieve incredibly tender and juicy results in record time, without sacrificing flavor or appearance.
We will delve deep into the use of various rubs, specifically designed to create balanced flavor profiles that enhance the meat without overpowering its natural delicacy. You will be the one ensuring championship-level results, finishing it all off with a presentation glaze that turns an excellent preparation into a true competition masterpiece.

This is a hands-on, direct lesson, ideal for those looking to refine their technique and craft ribs like a true professional.
