After cooking with smoke, one of my favorite past times is reading. And usually when we here in NJ hit the weather where BBQ season is on the horizon, I start hitting the books to plan out 5-6 months of wonderful, wonderful, BBQ.
So my question to everyone here: What are you reading, and what should be on my shelf?
Right now I'm working through two in particular: Low & Slow, and Peace, Love, and Barbecue. This first is really different from anything else I've ever read: it's not a cookbook so much as it is a teaching tool. It doesn't go over recipes for BBQ. It teaches the art. Can't wait to get started with it, especially since I'm starting with a new SnP this summer- used an UDS before. The second is fantastic- a cookbook secondarily, but first and foremost the story of the author's life growing up, his love for barbecue, and the associated culture and lore of it.
