Title: All inclusive
Review: Full of every detail on smoking that one could ever wish to have. The variety of provided recipes is great & will get one going on even more ideas. I got the spiral-bound and for once that was put together with plenty of room for the margin at the spiral. Was packaged good. Great book!

Title: Really comprehensive, creative, and delicious!
Review: Steven Raichlenâs books are all amazing, and this is my personal favorite of all of them. Itâs got all the stuff you already know you want to smoke, and then a bunch of things that you might not have even considered. Great book!My thoughts and pics on the smokes we tried:1Dinner!2) Salmon Candy â p 189. Oh my gosh. If you like salmon, even just a smidge, make this one! The salmon gets brined, rinsed, then air dried a bit in the fridge, and smoked for an hour basting with more maple syrup. It is silky and moist inside and fabulously sticky and flavorful.3) Montreal Meatballs with Maple Mustard Barbecue Sauce â p 141. These are delicious. Thereâs no egg in the meatballs, which is pretty unusual. We loved the maple mustard sauce. The meatball cage is so much better than chasing them all over a grill mat.4) Smoked Root Vegetable Hash Browns â p 209. Fabulous and super easy. I went with sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions. Itâs supposed to smoke at 400 for a short period of time. I had the smoker fired up for barbecue, so I put it in at the much lower temperature for a longer period and it worked just fine.Iâll update this as I play in the book more! I plan on making my way through it, cover to cover.Some others I have flagged to try: Deviled Smoked Eggs â p 36 * Smoked Planked Camembert with Jalapeno Pepper Jelly â p 41 * Smoked Nachos â p 48 * Bacon Crab Poppers â p 55 * Big Bad Beef Ribs â p 62 * Slam Dunk Brisket â p 66 * Pork Shoulder â p 88 * Oak-Smoked Cherry-Glazed Baby Back Ribs â p 95 * Hay Smoked Hamburgers â p 136 * Smoked Bratwursts â p 146 * Rotisserie-Smoked Chicken â p 151 * Jamaican Jerk Chicken â p 154 * Oysters Smoked on the Half Shell â p 174 * Smoked Slaw â p 202 * Double Smoked Potatoes â p 209 * Creamed Smoked Corn â p 213 * Barbecued Onions â p 214 * Smokehouse Beans â p 218 * Smoked Bacon-Bourbon Apple Crisp â p 228 * Smoked Flan â p 233

Title: Not just recipees, talks about technique and offers tips for everything related to smoking food!
Review: Project Smoke was a god send for me. Not only does it give some really good recipes, it also gives information on how to smoke different meats with different woods, with different smoker types. Want to smoke a pork loin (And I highly recommend doing so) but don't have a specific recipe for one? No problem. There is a section on what types of wood works best with what types of meats. In each chapter there is a chart that shows what temperature to set you smoker and what target you should hit for internal temperature. So in the pork chapter, all that I had to do was look for pork loin in the meat chart, set my smoker. The intro discussed the various wood types and how well they pair with a meat type. Easy as pie. This cook book encouraged me to expand my horizons, and do chicken breasts, pork loins, even a turducken! I going to try the Whiskey double smoked turkey tomorrow night for a pot-luck at work on Thursday. I included a pic of a pork loin that I smoked that I was inspired to do with this cook book. It had a very nice smoke ring, and the flavor was incredible. It took a very poor tasting hatfield barbecue pork loin and made it in to one of the best things I got out of my smoker! That wasn't even a recipe in the book, just went off the discussion on wood types, and temperature guides. The recipe's themselves are also pretty good.

Title: What to do with your smoker... okay, you had me at Raichlen.
Review: Like so many other people, I've long been a fan of Steven Raichlen's BBQ mastery, both from his PBS shows and his many cookbooks. Certainly, I've learned to rely on his recipes over the years. So when we purchased a second smoker (having worn out our first, inexpensive one), it was a no-brainer to buy this.One reason I reached for this book first was the certainty that Raichlen would give solid, reliable advice to help me get started. For example, he explains the options for flavoring the raw food (salting, curing, brining, marinades, etc.); he makes the differences in smoking methods sound simple; and he includes easy-to-read charts for identifying which woods are used for smoking regionally. Best of all, he keeps you relaxed through all this education, so you can remember that the point of all this is to enjoy yourself.Ultimately, you turn to a book like this for the recipes -- both the basics ("just tell me how to make a brisket") and more exotic items. And as usual, Raichlin is a winner in every category. Chapters are devoted to basics and "the seven steps to smoking nirvana" and explanations of smoker types (35 pages on that, so it's far more than a vague arm-wave); starters; beef; pork; lamb; burgers, sausages, and more; poultry, seafood; vegetables, side dishes, and meatless smoking; desserts; cocktails.We've only had the book (and the new smoker) for a few weeks, but we already have made several items -- intentionally starting small, as I prefer to make mistakes when it doesn't say "serves 10." Our Thanksgiving meal started with smoked planked Camembert with jalapeños and pepper jelly -- though in respect for the spice wimps we used kumquat jelly and pushed the peppers to the side. It was super-simple, yummy, and yet unexpected-tasting. I've also made the smoked eggs (originally with the intention of using 'em in his smoked chopped-liver appetizer, until the liver-haters talked me out of it). And although the "red hot wings with Pac-Rim seasonings" is marked as an appetizer, it was a good (and easy to throw together!) meal for the two of us (plus leftovers). His simple recipe for smoked tri-tip (a dry rub of salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried rosemary) was just the ticket for a lazy Sunday afternoon meal, wherein I could spend more attention fiddling with the new gizmo's controls (such as learning that the smoker is JUST out of Bluetooth range of my home office, ah well).It's obvious that we have to try his "slam dunk brisket" (how could we not?). I already have a duck in the freezer, so next up is apt to be the recipe for tea-smoked duck. I also bought the cold-smoker attachment, so surely I also have to make the Bornholm cold-smoked lax, right?No matter which recipe Raichlen is sharing, though, he's darned good at the job. His own voice comes through loud-and-clear -- you know his preferences! -- but the instructions never make you guess, or realize too late that you were supposed to put something on to soak 20 minutes ago.It's a winner.
