Pitmaster. Recipes, Techniques, and Barbecue Wisdom

227 Pages·2017·49.62 MB·English

by  Andy Husbands and Chris Hart

“A jewel in the crown of any cookbook shelf, Pitmaster serves up a big-hearted dollop
of authentic techniques as seen through the exacting, wonky, award-winning minds
of a couple of Yankee barbecue freakazoids. This Ohio pitmaster cannot wait to
smoke and grill his way through each and every gleaming recipe. Winter can bite me.”
—John Markus, executive producer of The Ultimate BBQ Showdown
and Emmy-award–winning writer
“Okay, now I'm hungry! Andy and Chris’s superb barbecue techniques and amiable
humor are all wrapped up into one pork-craklin’ sandwich of recipes!”
—Ben Mezrich, New York Times bestselling author of
The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House
“Andy and Chris have combined all the elements for sharing the culture of barbecue.
By embracing all regional barbecue styles and experience levels and flavoring liberally
with their own expertise and acumen, they’ve captured the spirit of our community.
Bon appetit!”
—Carolyn Wells, executive director and co-founder of
the Kansas City Barbeque Society
