Henrik, here's an example from Meathead's book in the Kindle app (PC version):

Thanks MBMorgan, it looks great in color! I will look into it.

I found this on my porch when I got home from work.

So you think rum will work in the sauce (and other) recipes? I don’t think I have any whiskey or bourbon but I have gallons of rum from all over. Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize, Dominican Republic, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Barbados, Bermuda, even Cuban rum smuggled in from Canada.

[Henrik]

If you refer to the whiskey sauce on page 198, then yes. But Rum has a lot more sugar in it (typically), so skip the brown sugar to start with, and add a pinch or two until you get just the right balance. And make sure you simmer it for a while to get rid of the 'sharpness' from the alcohol.

[SmokeyGator]

My understanding is that "dark rum" is light rum with molasses added. Light rum isnt barrel aged. Most of what I have is barrel aged.

Anyhow I’ll drop you a line when I try. But I did Che I my stash and I have Bushmills. It’s not great but it does have a closer flavor profile. I’m mostly into beer not the hard stuff.

Look what I got today! Just in time for a long smoke tonight. Doing a huge brisket, 2 pork butts, and sausage for my neighbors college graduation tomorrow afternoon.

[Henrik]

Sweet! Good timing! Now remember to take photos of those briskets, pork butts and sausages so we get to see the goodness!

Dear pit members,

I have written a barbecue book. It was released in Sweden and Norway in May this year. Since then I have translated it, added more recipes and a chapter on offset smoker building. It is now available on .....

Henrik, did you release it in Swedish, and where in Sweden is it available?

[Henrik]

Yep, you can buy it from AdLibris: https://www.adlibris.com/se/bok/barb...-9789163933448

Well, I bought it a couple of months ago - very nice and useful. But a buddy at work's wife got him to buy a cooker, and is really into it. So I gifted it over to her! She's loving it!

She's from Virginia; he's from Paris. It makes a difference. ;-)

Just finished reading your book, really liked it.

So, this Kindle version thing. I have an old Kindle, and it's great for reading e-books. I'm just wondering how well a cook book would work in a Kindle? Are there Kindle's with color screens now, or how does that work? Mine is just dull gray.

I've never had a Kindle, but all the books and magazines I read now are digital. Amazon has a wide variety of viewing purchased content. My present laptop is a 5th Gen ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and it has a dedicated spot on my kitchen counter when I'm cooking.

I've been storing my recipes digitally since the days of floppy discs. There's stuff in my Google Drive that started out in life as .txt files.

When the Kindle version of your book comes out, I'll be first in line.

[Henrik]

Thanks! I looked into creating a Kindle version. I actually created one. Turns out the fonts you can use are extremely limited, so I need to redo the layout with some default font for all headings...
Haven’t given up yet though.

Henrik--Just ordered my copy! I always enjoy your comments and insights in the pit. Looking forward to perusing your book!

[Henrik]

Cool, thanks for your support!

[vandy]

Got my copy about a week ago, great book!

[Henrik]

Thanks, I'm real glad to hear!

[MBMorgan]

Henrik, I finally found the time to read "Barbecue, fire and smoke" cover to cover and all I can say is "Wow!". You have created a great, easy-reading, BBQ resource for newbies and experts alike. Congrats! And thanks ...
