What is The K-town Pit Que?

K-town Pit Que is a hyper-local BBQ cooking school and consulting service based in Kensington, MD. We offer hands-on, in-home BBQ lessons where you’ll learn to master BBQ techniques in the comfort of your own backyard.

How do your in-home BBQ lessons work?

We bring everything needed for the lesson to your home, including tools, ingredients, and expert guidance. You’ll be hands-on the entire time, learning tips and techniques to make incredible BBQ. The best part? You’re the pitmaster!

What types of BBQ can I learn to cook?

We specialize in ribs, chicken, and pulled pork, including the coveted money muscle cut. Each session is tailored to your specific interests, so let us know what you’d like to master!

How long does each class take?

Most BBQ sessions, especially for ribs or pulled pork, take about 5–6 hours, though times can vary depending on the type of meat and cooking process. We'll cook to temperature, not time, to ensure the best quality.

What does the cost include?

The class fee includes all materials and tools you’ll need, including knives, cutting boards, gloves, and a K-town Pit Que T-shirt for each participant. Food costs are separate and passed through at actual price—no markups!

Can you teach me on my own grill or smoker?

Absolutely! We’ll happily use your grill or smoker if you prefer. If not, we can bring our own equipment for an additional fee.

What if I don’t have a smoker?

No smoker, no problem! We can show you techniques to turn a standard grill into a smoker or bring a smoker with us if you’d like the full experience.

How much food should I plan for my group?

We generally recommend one rack of ribs per participant. If additional guests will be eating, we can adjust the food quantities to ensure everyone is satisfied.

Can I provide my own ingredients?

You’re welcome to handle the shopping if you prefer. We’ll provide a detailed list and will bring our favorite rubs, sauces, and injections to ensure quality results.

What if it rains or the weather is bad?

We’re flexible and can reschedule for severe weather. However, BBQ can often continue in light weather conditions with a bit of setup adjustment.
