SHARE

The Department of Animal Sciences and Extension Service faculty will host their fourth annual BBQ Boot Camp series throughout North Dakota.

The camp introduces participants to basic grilling styles, including gas, charcoal and smokers; offers information about different rubs, marinades and seasonings to use on meat; explains why cooking temperatures are important and how the temperature affects the quality of meat; teaches food safety tips and nutritional facts on meat; informs participants about current topics in the meat and food industry and the importance of understanding the world food supply. The camp also gives participants a chance to sample different types of barbecued meat and provides ideas for their next neighborhood barbecue.

“BBQ Boot Camp is a unique opportunity to combine great food, great people and our program message on the critical role agriculture plays in all our lives,” said David Newman, NDSU Extension swine specialist. “We plan to hold the camp in even more communities across the state next year.”
