(from the book's authors) This cookbook is the result of a smoke-cooking contest which the authors have been carrying on for five years. They each started with one smoke cooker and limited barbecue experience, but gradually picked up more elaborate equipment, experience and polish, and a rich assortment of successful smoke-cooking recipes. Finding that only a few scattered pages had ever been written on the subject, the authors were encouraged to combine their best efforts in a practical cookbook devoted entirely to smoke cooking.
