Book Description

April 1, 2006

A complete guide to the popular favorite of BBQ fans everywhere.

This comprehensive guide to the art of slow smoking on the BBQ will appeal to any outdoor chef. How-to instructions introduce lovers of all things barbecued to smoking methods while the recipes reflect the rich diversity of smoked foods, showing how to smoke almost anything from fruit, nuts and cheese to ribs, brisket and fish.

Smoking takes longer than simple grilling, and requires new techniques to be mastered for best results. The book tells how to use any type of barbecue equipment for smoking, whether a simple kettle grill, a competition smoker, or a cold smoker. It also addresses:

  • Using various types of woods
  • Building an indirect fire
  • Preparing food for smoking
  • Avoiding the Seven Sins of Smoking
  • Using brines, marinades, rubs, slathers, bastes, glazes, and sauces

The 300 carefully selected recipes are organized by ingredients to provide easy access and offer new inspirations for the ultimate in smoked foods:

  • Flower of the Flames Rib Rub
  • Blackberry Merlot Marinade
  • Stuffed Smoked Tomatoes
  • Cold-Smoked Fruit Salsa
  • Apple-Smoked Salmon with Green Grape Sauce
  • Pecan-Smoked Apricot Chicken Wings
  • Smoked Flank Steak with Beefy Barbecue Mop

With its mouthwatering recipes plus handy smoking and doneness charts, timetables, and instructions for various foods types, Championship BBQ Secrets for Real Smoked Food is a superb guide to an increasingly popular method of backyard cooking.

5.0 out of 5 stars I almost didn't buy this book . . ., August 29, 2006
By 
D. Prentice (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Championship BBQ Secrets for Real Smoked Food (Paperback)
I almost didn't buy this book. I have so many BBQ books, why would I need yet another? Truth is I was shopping for something else and just added this book to the order so the total would qualify for free shipping. Boy, am I glad I did! This is one GREAT book.

Incredible recipes with regional influences from all over the US and Canada. And, I particularly love the authors use of fruit in so many of her sauces etc. There is inspired madness here. Check the Ultimate Smoker Burger - I never thought I could get excited about a burger recipe, but this one did it for me! In addition, I appreciate the inclusion of many side dishes that you can add to your smoker while the featured main courses are cooking. I highly recommend this book no matter what your experience level.

Ms.Putman, I can't wait for your next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Smoke Book, August 5, 2006
This review is from: Championship BBQ Secrets for Real Smoked Food (Paperback)
With so many grill books on the market today, it is always a pleasure to find a book that is unfliinching in it's focus on one subject: Smoke in this case. The author is an authority. She has won many, many, cooking awards for professional chef contests as well as being an "ACE" on the BBQ circuit. Here is what I love in this book:
The Pork Loin Roast in Maple Mustard Brine is so tender, smoky and moist it will make you cry!
The Santa Fe Chicken Breast in Coffee Lime Marinade is amazing with the unusual flavors that include fresh cilantro and hot sauce along with the coffee and lime - quite wonderful!
The Blackberry Merlot Sauce and Fresh Blueberry & Ginger Sauce are deelish with smoked or grilled poultry or pork.
There are a dozen recipes for ribs and plenty for brisket, too.
AND, I love the simplicity of the instructions on smoking in the beginning of the book. It's not rocket science after all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ain't Blown No Smoke, August 7, 2006
This review is from: Championship BBQ Secrets for Real Smoked Food (Paperback)
This is a well organized and user friendly compilation of BBQ recipe and cooking techniques that amateur "backyarders" to professional circuit riders can use. It contains insights that only a real experienced BBQ practioner would know and is shared in a manner that all can understand. "the quality of a service or product is what the customer says it is" I say this is EXCELLENT.
