***The Great American Barbecue & Grilling Manual***
Author: C. Clark "Smokey" Hale
Paper back: 405 pages
If barbecuing is on your mind, prepare to transform your grill into a sacred fire pit. Once you start reading The Great American Barbecue & Grilling Manual, you will be seduced by this ancient art. Smoky Hale is truly the barbecue guru of our time. His goal is to show us the best method and to dispel the myths created by those who do not understand the true definition of barbecue.
This is a book you will find difficult to put down, so give yourself time to savor page after page of mouth-watering information. The descriptive writing and historical facts will satisfy your cerebral appetite even before the cooking begins. Every conceivable piece of knowledge on barbecue is here in one book, look no further. Smoky Hale makes no excuses for his love affair with "Authentic Barbecue."
About halfway through this "manual" you will already be driven to distraction by a tempting array of dishes which includes: Barbecued Pork Ribs, Churrasco, Fajitas, Sirloin Strips, Perfect Hamburgers, Chicken, Shrimp, Pork Shish Kebabs, Grilled Bass, and a Grilled Eggplant and Tomato with Shrimp and Pesto Stuffing. Most importantly he divulges the secret for knowing when a piece of meat is ready to be turned.
Just as you are starting to get nostalgic about your grill, you will happen upon an entire chapter devoted to selecting a new grill. Yes, by Chapter Nine it is now the time to discover the anatomy of a grill. The diagram on page 294 may enlighten you as the Hardwood/Charcoal grill is finally explained in detail. This answered my question as to why one would need a fire box attached to a grill. For those who prefer to "Grill" quickly, there is an entire chapter on gas and electric cooking.
(This was a library book at one time but in excellent condition!)
