Smoke & Spice
A classmate of mine at culinary school just handed me a book on barbecue called Smoke & Spice by Cheryl and Bill Jamison. Has anyone here read it, and if so, what were your impressions of the book?

One of my favorites.
The Jamison's do thorough research and the recipes are pretty good. If you're into Tex Mex, they have another book titled "The Border Cookbook".

It's one of my favorites. Has some pretty good advice, but can be off on cooking times. Try the recipe for the renowned Mr.Brown.

A good go-to book. I like it. As mentioned, don't trust cooking times- remember everbody and every cooker is different.
They have a lot of good advice and a lot of good recipes in a very accessible format.

good recipes, but even in the revised edition the reccomended cooking temps are to low. I made the Apple City Ribs and sauce as one of my first really good barbecue meals.

They might sell it as a Pork shoulder roast, Brian. The Boston Butt is the piggie equivilant of the beef chuck [more or less]

Oh, OK, yeah, they're called shoulder roasts here. Right now the only pork I have left is 2 pork sirloins, weighing in at about 1 1/2 lbs. each. Nothing worthy of the smoker until finances improve. My going back to school is a big adjustment for us, but we're finally getting on our feet again.

Watch for sales or check out Costco or Sams if there is one close. Pork shoulder should be pretty cheap.

It is cheap, so it'll be high on my list when payday rolls around. We have a discount grocer here, Winco, that has a surprisingly good meat department. I can get Brisket for less that $1.25/lb. My wife loves my babybacks, but I've migrated away from ribs because of the price per pound and the amount of weight taken up by bone.

Right you are Brian. Baby backs especially are expensive. Pound for Pound, you can buy really good steak for what the real yield in meat is on bbs.
[not that my wife would care, she loves baby backs, and would rather have them than the most expensive steak in town]

Yeah, my wife feels the same way. She's not a big fan of my brisket -- she says it has good flavor, but that the brisket is.... and this pains me to even quote... "Too fatty".
We're seeing a counselor.
