Pork Rib Workshop!
Northern Fire’s Pork Rib Workshop — Tuesday, April 14th, 2026
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Get ready to level up your rib game! Join us at Northern Fire Grilling & BBQ Supply for a hands-on rib workshop taught by the Minnesota BBQ Society’s 2025 Ribs Team of the Year — Lucky 19 Sauce Company (yeah… the same crazy folks who own Northern Fire).
This class is all about understanding why great ribs aren’t an accident—they’re a process. We’ll break down exactly what Lucky 19 does in competition BBQ, from trimming and seasoning to cooking, wrapping, finishing, and the final rib that earns those 9’s from the judges.
What You’ll Learn
-
The real difference between fall-off-the-bone backyard ribs and trophy-winning competition ribs
-
How to choose, trim, and prep ribs the way the pros do
-
Layering rubs, managing smoke, and dialing in the perfect bite
-
Cooking timelines, wrapping techniques, and finishing touches
-
How Texas pitmasters approach Texas-style spare ribs—and how they compare to KCBS competition ribs
We’ll cook both competition-style ribs AND Texas spare ribs so you can see, taste, and understand the differences side-by-side.
Whether you’re chasing blue ribbons or just wanting to dominate your neighborhood cookouts, this workshop will give you the knowledge (and the confidence) to cook ribs the Northern Fire way.
Limited seats. This one always sells out.
Come hungry — leave dangerous.
