Timber & Tallow Presents The Pit Master Academy: Fireside Comforts.

Master fall comfort food over fire with smoky gumbo, hearty pot pie, and live-fire meatloaf at Timber & Tallow's Pit Master Academy. Timber & Tallow Presents The Pit Master Academy: Fireside ComfortsSunday, October 11 | 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM Rocker Spirits | Littleton, Colorado As the weather cools down, we're turning to the kind of food that belongs around a fire. Join Timber & Tallow at Rocker Spirits for Fireside Comforts, a Pit Master Academy seminar dedicated to taking classic comfort foods and reimagining them with smoke, fire, and outdoor cooking techniques. Throughout this three-hour experience, we'll break down the techniques behind three hearty fall classics while showing you how smokers and griddles can be used for much more than traditional BBQ. On the Menu Smoked Chicken & Andouille Gumbo A rich, deeply flavored gumbo built from scratch with smoked chicken, andouille sausage, a proper dark roux, and layers of Cajun-inspired flavor. Live-Fire Pot Pie A smoky take on the ultimate comfort-food classic, featuring a rich, savory filling beneath a golden, flaky crust. Pit Master Meatloaf Forget the weeknight meatloaf you grew up with. We'll build a bold, smoke-kissed version and show how the smoker transforms this American classic. What You'll Learn We'll cover ingredient selection, flavor development, smoker and griddle techniques, temperature management, building a proper roux, incorporating smoke without overpowering a dish, and adapting traditional comfort-food recipes for outdoor cooking. This class combines live demonstrations, instruction, discussion, and opportunities to participate throughout the seminar. You'll see each process, have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and—most importantly—taste everything we prepare. Whether you're already comfortable around a smoker or want to expand what you can cook outdoors, Fireside Comforts will give you new techniques and recipes to bring home just in time for fall. Rocker Spirits The class will be hosted at Rocker Spirits in Littleton, Colorado. Cocktails and spirits will be available for purchase for guests 21+ throughout the event. Alcoholic beverages are not included with your class ticket. Come hungry, grab a drink, and discover just how far beyond traditional BBQ you can take your smoker and griddle.
