Enhance Your Barbecue Library
The introductions to recipes featured on Project Smoke, Season 3 were filmed in my office in Miami. In the background is a portion of my embarrassingly large collection of cookbooks and culinary references, proving I am an incorrigible bibliophile. Each spring, there is more temptation to add to my library of grilling, smoking, and barbecue books. Here are my top picks from the new crop. They make for perfect reading as you sip a cold one and wait for that brisket or pork butt to cook to perfection. Pitmaster: Recipes,...

I love it when I get questions and requests from readers and viewers. And one thing you ask a lot is to see more wild game dishes on Project Smoke and in my books. I hear you loud and clear. So when I came across this grilled venison loin with honey, juniper, and black pepper glaze in Dishing Up® Minnesota by Teresa Marrone (published by Storey Publishing—a subsidiary of Workman Publishing), I knew that both our prayers had been answered....

Coconut may not play a big role in your grilling, but in Asia it is a staple. Malaysians, Cambodians, and Indonesians all use coconut shell charcoal for grilling.

It’s summertime on Martha’s Vineyard, and that means ... clambakes. Long before the Pilgrims showed up, New England Indians celebrated summer with clambakes.
