Smoke & Spice - Revised Edition: Cooking With Smoke, the Real Way to Barbecue (Non)

From an Amazon review:
"This is absolutely the best barbecue book I have ever seen! Warning: This is NOT a cookbook. Of course it has recipes, lots of them. But more importantly to me, it explains *why* certain things are done the way they are, not just what to do. Any robot can add two tablespoons of brown sugar on command, I want to know why rubs do what they do, when to use a mop, how to modify a recipe for a water smoker vs. a log pit. This book does that and MORE. It's cliched to say if you only own one book, but it's true. This is the one."

Paul Kirk's Championship Barbecue Sauces: 175 Make-Your-Own Sauces, Marinades, Dry Rubs, Wet Rubs, Mops, and Salsas (Non)

It’s easy for any backyard chef to serve up tantalizing food from the grill! Paul Kirk offers 175 winning recipes that impart bold, zesty flavor to every cut of meat. Kirk covers the classic American sauces—with tomatoes, mustard, sugar, or vinegar at their base—and offers up a wealth of fresh and creative brews flavored with such things as raspberries, pineapple, ginger, chile peppers, and more.

In special Master Classes and elsewhere, Kirk reveals the basic building blocks of spice mixtures, rubs, marinades, bastes, and sauces. He explains how to layer them during the cooking process, so that grilled or barbecued food not only smacks of flavor, but brisket is more tender, steaks form a crispy crust, and ribs melt in the mouth.

Pig Tail Food Flipper

4.7 out of 5 stars (31 customer reviews)
Amazon.com Review This innovative tool flips a rack of ribs, steaks, or even hot dogs on the grill and provides more ease and safety than a spatula or meat fork. Also useful for indoor cooking, the Pig Tail turns any food from chicken breasts and hot sandwiches to tortillas and bacon. The Pig Tail is essentially a curved hook at the end of a shaft that pierces the edge of any food and turns it with a flip of the wrist. The Pig Tail’s hook and shaft are made of surgical-grade stainless-steel for strength and durability and the hook will not leave marks in your meat or cause meats to bleed. This set ships with two Pig Tails—a 19-inch tool that’s great for outdoor cooking and a shorter 12-inch model that works for stovetop grilling or sautéing. Both Pig Tails have wood handles for a cool grip and leather cords for hanging near the grill or stove and are covered by a lifetime replacement guarantee. --Cristina Vaamonde
