Dr. Jeff Savell '75 has a knack for barbecuing and has taught animal and meat science at Texas A&M since 1982. He also co-founded the university's Texas Barbecue program.



The Texas Barbecue program began in 2009 at Texas A&M after faculty were asked to develop smaller, freshmen-level seminar classes.

It eventually developed into a much broader program called Foodways Texas, which promotes the diverse food culture of Texas through seminars, documentaries, recipe collection, research and workshops.



As part of Foodways Texas, Texas A&M hosts two barbecue workshops annually: Barbecue Summer Camp and Camp Brisket.

The camps combine the art and science that goes into making barbecue and educates participants about Texas barbecue through hands-on experience from pit-masters across the state.

I met Jeff at a College youth inner city mission trip when I was younger. Spent 5 days building wheelchair ramps, talking about bbq and talking about Aggie football. Great guy.

If you graduated more than 10 years ago, can you enroll as a freshman again...

Dr. Savell is an incredible person. I've been to both BBQ Camp and Camp Brisket and highly recommend them, if you get selected through the lottery drawing. It was much easier to get in when I attended. Davey Griffin and Ray Riley, the other two instructors, know their stuff as well. All around great people and excellent pitmasters!

Is there paid for classes or seminars that former students can take?

I'd be highly interested in going to one.

Same here. Keep forgetting about it until it's too late.

Just realized you have to pay to have the opportunity to get selected for the camp.

Well...that was an interesting idea for a little while.

You have to pay to be a member to apply for the lottery. You don't have to pay the cost of the camp unless you get drawn to go.

So it's kinda like trying to register for classes as a student then?
