A few of us here at AmazingRibs have this book, even Meathead. It is an excellent one, you're right!

Looks good, I got one on rubs and sauces that looks promising. I hadn't thought about smoking butter, but there is a recipe that sounds amazing for potatoes.

I have smoked water for ice. Part of MH's Bloody Mary recipe

Butter sounds interesting

I have Steve Raichlen's Barbecue! Bible Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades. I've used the Lone Star Steak Rub for years - it's a favorite.

Most of the stuff I use comes from Cook's Illustrated - which I've paid dearly for ( but no regrets ). Also use the recipes found on this website - can't go wrong!

Below is a link to some NY Strip Steak Rubs from CI.

Keep on rubbin'!

My biggest problem with CI is they don't like lump charcoal. Great book!

Those folks know what they are doing. My problem with cook books and recipes is me! I can't follow a recipe, halfway reading a recipe I've already changed or moved on. LOL!!

Hi Ernest,

Cool, but read Meathead's article and related posts when it come to making your own corned beef! ( I haven't developed the guts to do this - LOL! )

Yes, CI knows what they're doing - I've learned alot.

OK, Day 2 of CI's "Ultimate Chili". Pretty $@#$% good - I need to get the dried chili's so I can make my own "American Chili Powder" - See Meathead's recipe.

Don't forget the fond.
