Amazon reports my book is selling briskly and in order to beef up advance orders they have been discounting it as low as $23 (list is $35). Might be a good time to order. http://tinyurl.com/meatheadbook
BTW, Kenji Lopez-Alt, who wrote the foreword to my book, won Cookbook of the Year this year with his book, The Food Lab. It is a brilliant book. Here's my review http://amazingribs.com/BBQ_buyers_gu...ags.html#kenji
Weber One-Touch Platinum (the discontinued 4-legged, dome hole in the middle model plus a Smokenator when smoking); ThermoWorks TW 3628 & Kintrex IRT 0421 for briskets & other long cooks; Taylor Weekend Warrior (for the lanyard, not the cooktemps) & several ThermoPens for all others. I fully embrace the Minion Method and use Kingsford classic briquettes & Cowboy hardwood charcoal exclusively. Dry woodchips, of course. Beer - Devils Backbone Vienna Lager; bourbon - ALL but Bonded is preferred.
Just checked - I pre-ordered on 23 Feb, and today my "open orders" list shows I'll be charged $22.43 when it ships 10 May. And, thanks for the recommendation on The Food Lab. My wife's the (indoor) cook (and overall menu planner), but I love reading her how-to and why books. Her birthday is coming up so . . .
