The one-liner
A Skool club for barbecue lovers sharing recipes, deals and courses from a Quebec grilling brand.
What they actually sell
BBQ Nation, run by JP Lavoie, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "Where the BBQ People meet, talk and grill together." A free tier sits at the front door, with Premium and VIP upgrades above it. The pitch is pride and belonging: you are not just grilling, you are part of the Nation. Inside are exclusive recipes and techniques, deals on tools, sauces, spices and gear, barbecue courses and videos, and a community for quick answers and laughs. The free door is framed as a limited lifetime offer, with premium and VIP tiers behind it that the about page does not describe. Inside sits one course. A formal money-back promise is not spelled out on the about page.
Who pays and why
Barbecue fans who want to grill better, smoke like a pro and keep grilling through the winter. They want recipes, gear deals and grill friends who share the passion. They join for exclusive recipes, gear deals, courses and a crew of fellow grillers.
Where the members come from
JP Lavoie's BBQ Quebec brand, with its YouTube channel, Facebook, Instagram and website, is the feeder, so the English group extends an established French-language audience. Follower counts are not shown.
What's holding it back
Gear deals and free access are the hooks, but the paid tiers are not explained, so there is no clear route to revenue.
Steal this
Bundle member-only deals on supplies into the community, so membership pays for itself on the first purchase.
Would this work in another niche?
Yes for fishing, coffee or home brewing. Weak where members do not buy gear regularly.
