Smoke and Spice Cooking with Smoke the Real Way to Barbecue

Smoke and Spice Cooking with Smoke the Real Way to Barbecue

Barbecue is not about grilling food fast over high heat. That’s something else, delicious in its own right, but something else entirely. Barbecue is about marginal cuts of meat (for the most part), about smoke, about fires burning so low and slow you hardly ever see the flicker of a flame. Barbecue is about succulent pork ribs as dark as sin just falling off the bone and dripping with glorious sweet pork godliness. Or enjoying the effects that 12 to 18 hours of smoking has on beef brisket.

The trick is, how do you do it? How do you master a cooking technique all but ignored in favor of fast and hot? The answer lies in Smoke & Spice. Authors Jamison and Jamison provide all the information you’re ever going to need to run a real barbecue. Tips and techniques abound on every page–accompanied with countless recipes that stretch the barbecue imagination. And seeing that one cannot live on barbecue alone (though that’s a challenge well worth considering) there are just as many recipes included for all the good food that accompanies barbecue–from Scalloped Green Chile Potatoes to South-of-the-Border Garlic Soup to Buttermilk Onion Rings and even Bourbon Peaches. If smoke in your eyes makes your mouth water, this is the primer for you! –Schuyler Ingle

4 Stars Great source for rubs
This book is a great source for rubs, mops, and sauces. The flavors are great. I would have given five stars, but I think one thing is missing. For a book subtitled “Cooking with Smoke…”, I was surprised by the lack of general information on cooking with smoke. There are brief discussions of types of smokers, woods you can use, etc, but I was looking for more detail about the “art” of cooking with smoke. The book is filled with great recipes, but some more general information would have been nice.

4 Stars Smoke and Spice book review
Great book, with many recipes and BBQ tips. I’ve used about 4 or 5 recipes from this book and they are very good.

Book layout is excellent and this book covers many types of food to BBQ including Pork, Fish, Fowl and many others. Some basic education on how to smoke food.

I recommend this book for the entry level smoker BBQ library, primarily for the recipes.

5 Stars I love this book
I smoke pork, chicken, and beef regularly, and this is my bible. It answers the different regional greats…everything from Texas brisket to Kansas City to N. Carolina styles are represented. Excellent BBQ sauce recipes as well. Apple sauce and BourBQue (a sauce infused with bourbon) are some of my favorite original sauces this book represents.

5 Stars GREAT!
I got this for my husband and he absolutely loved it! Great item and speed on delivery!

5 Stars Great help for new smokers
We recently purchased a Traeger Pellet Smoker and I had no idea how to cook on it, this book gave me great ideas for sauces and rubs plus there are some great recipes that gave me a good starting point to using my smoker. I would highly recommend this book.

5 Stars Works great
I was looking for something I could pinch salt out of, that had a lid. This is perfect because I can pick it up and open the lid with just one hand is great. It’s well made and looks good on the counter. I never use the spoon.

I’ll admit, the fact that Alton Brown uses these did help me decide to pick one up.

1 Star This is NOT the one Alton Brown uses
This is NOT the one Alton Brown uses on his Foodtv Good Eats show. I bought the real one he uses from another seller on here. Do a search for Alton Brown Salt Cellar and you will see the REAL one. Special box and packaging for the real one.

5 Stars Solid Item
I was surprised of the thickness and quality of this Server

- needless to say it is following me around the kitchen - I use

it anywhere salt is needed - except my frozen driveway…

5 Stars salt server
This is a nice little salt server (can be used for other things as well). It looks professional and is easy to handle. I love it.

5 Stars Get to your salt in a pinch
While measuring salt in most recipes is not an exact science, having a product like this where I can put in as many pinches as I think necessary. The design is professional, very easy to use and a great addition to my prep area.
