Cook like a pro with fire and smoke
We're passionate about barbecue and love to spread the Slow Food Gospel.
Let's 'Q!
Barbecue is about family, friends and fun!
It is the original American Slow Food with its various styles and regional variations enjoyed worldwide.
Relax with your favorite drink while a pro teaches you how to fire up flavor-packed barbecue, including his famous ribs and more mouth-watering smoked meat.
Mick has an easy-going and informal style which lends itself well to backyard instruction. Be sure to bring your appetite and your favorite BBQ beverages!

About Pitmaster Mick
Mick relocated to Arizona from Chicagoland where he was hand picked by Sweet Baby Ray to be Pitmaster and General Manager of his only barbecue restaurant.
Prior to that, Mick lived in Ireland where he introduced American low n’ slow barbecue cooking to the natives, starting what is now an island-wide craze.
He has demonstrated and instructed for Weber grills, and has studied under the USA’s most acclaimed and legendary Pitmasters, Mike Mills and Paul Kirk.
