Master of the Pit
I learned most everything I know about smoking from The Barbeque Bible by Steven Raichlen. Read Myron's book and didn't really find anything that made me say wow I've got to try that.
I bought this early last year and was very surprised at the way he prepared his brisket - relatively little cooking and LOTS of resting. It couldn't possibly work! could it? I tried it tentatively and was absolutely blown away by the result. I am now a convert to his method.
I am still not convinced though on his approach to using BBQ starter fluid and instant light charcoal and so continue to avoid these. The proof though is in his successful competition results...
