    Isn't Franklin's brisket class $250? I'd probably pay $275 for Mixon's class. He is the winningest person in BBQ competition cooking. I would not pay $700.

    I'm not certain but I think it's at least 2 full days. $350/ day and you get to eat some serious Q and drink beers with some new friends.

    I'm not sure I'd pay $275 to see him for a weekend, but how much do so many pay to watch two goons beat on each other, sometimes for less than two minutes (I don't think you get 'que to nibble, either)?
    I do, however, own his first book and have read it (twice!).  Very highly recommended.  I've never met him nor even seen him on TV, but his arrogance comes through even in his book.  I'm okay with that, he has the hardware to back it up.  What does surprise me is the comment above that he swore he could taste lighter fluid in a contestant's entry; he states emphatically in his book that as long as you follow the directions on the can, the fluid is completely burnt off and you can't taste it (and, sure, a contestant could fail to do that).  I also remember playing with the chemistry equations of lighter fluid here on this forum about 3 years ago, and there are NO remaining compounds besides H2O, N2 and CO2.  
     
    I have paid $275 and more for weekend courses in AutoCAD, photography and Ultimate Marathon Sex, but they were in the air-conditioning (notably, no 'que to nibble on there either).   =)

    I've dropped $500 a seat to watch the Steelers play. A couple hundred for great concerts. If a guy wants to spend some money to go to a BBQ class, so be it. Still cheaper than taking golf lessons.
