Smoked BBQ Ribs Workshop

Q: Will the workshop be hands-on?

Yes — it’s designed to be hands-on. You’ll actively take part in key steps like trimming, seasoning, and understanding the smoking process, not just watch a demo. Of course, I’ll guide you throughout so you always know what to do and why.

Q: Do I need to bring anything?

Nope — you can show up empty-handed. We provide everything you need (ingredients, tools, rubs, sauces, and equipment).If you want to bring an apron, a notebook, or a small container for leftovers, feel free — but it’s totally optional.

Q: Can I take leftovers home?

For sure! If we have leftovers (and usually we do), you’re welcome to take some home so you can proudly show off to your family & friends.

Q: What is your cancellation / refund policy?

Our cancellation and refund policy follows the AGB (Terms & Conditions) on this page. In short: full refunds are possible up to 7 days before the workshop. After that, refunds aren’t available.

Q: Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

Yes — ticket transfers are allowed, according to the AGB. Just let us know in advance so we can register the new participant properly.

Q: Is the workshop held indoors / outdoors? What if it rains?

The workshop is mostly indoors (prep, trimming, seasoning, theory, tasting). The pellet smoker will be outside under a tent/cover, so rain isn’t an issue. We run the workshop rain or shine.

Q: In which language is the workshop?

The workshop is primarily in English.The instructor can also help in basic German when needed, and participants often help each other out in German if something isn’t clear. Bonus: the instructor also speaks Portuguese and Spanish.

Q: Can I buy this as a gift voucher?

Yes! You can purchase a gift voucher via the “Geschenkgutscheine” menu. Simply choose a voucher in your desired amount — it will be applied as a discount on the invoice when the recipient books the workshop.

The Instructor

Born and raised in Brazil, Bruno De Renzo has been around grills since childhood — learning the joy of BBQ the classic way: outdoors, with family, and a fire going. Today, he’s known for his enthusiasm and clear teaching style, helping people understand how BBQ works so they can reproduce great results at home. He’s passionate about all styles of preparing animal proteins over fire and smoke, from weeknight cooks to long, slow smokes that turn into a full experience. In May 2025, he founded Get a Grill to remove the “equipment barrier” and make experimenting with different grilling styles easy and accessible for everyone.
