Smoking

Unlock the secrets of cooking on a smoker and enjoy the deeply soulful flavors of authentic pit-smoked BBQ made right in your backyard.

If you are new to smoke-cooking, you know it is more complicated than grilling. The cooking times are measured in hours, not minutes, and maintaining the perfect low temperature over those hours can be a challenge—especially when your fuel is wood chunks or logs and not propane gas or store-bought charcoal. 

Smoking serves up expert guidance on these tricky matters in a clear and concise way that even a total newbie can understand. Best of all, it offers 50 flavor-packed recipes that will make you not just use your smoker, but love it. They include:
