I grill nine months a year on my 22 inch charcoal Weber Grill. My failures have been few and far between soley because of this book. Cooking with Fire and Smoke is an indispensible resource for the serious "griller". It has a thorough introduction for the novice on types of woods, grills, and smokers. It is well organized with chapters on poultry, meats, fish, vegetables, etc... For speedy reference, Cooking with Fire and Smoke concludes with a chapter on rubs and a chapter on marinades. All of which have appeared in the preceding text. If you like to grill the purchase of this definitive cookbook is a must!

This book has every conceivable food combination for grilling
food outdoors. It lists accessories, the use of aluminum to
protect the grill, cleaning and general maintenance.
In addition, the author describes marinating with herbs, chopped veggies, virtually every burger variety and recipes of every
kind. For instance, the classic rib roast is described as is the
grilled chicken with herbal enhancements. There is an exhaustive
glossary to familiarize yourself with the outdoors lingo. Buy this book if you know very little about outdoor grilling. The recipes alone are worth the cost of the
work.

Very well written,,Describes with great detail, the process of how to smoke and cure varoius foods .It is indepth, with very easy to understand , down to earth language.Also includes many great recipies..Recommended highly for the novice person, seeking information about smoking foods,

Cooking with Fire and Smoke is the absolute best cookbook for grilling basics. In particular the pages which give times for every cut of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, etc. is invaluable. I refer to it every time I cook something on the grill.

We just purchased a BBQ smoker, and COOKING WITH FIRE AND SMOKE has been very helpful. It's an older book, but in good shape.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He is a hard person to buy for and has taken a liking to smoking foods. He's always watching something on TV about it so I thought I would try this cook book. He hasn't used it yet, but it looks pretty interesting.
