Franklin Barbecue - The Barbeque Bible Is Available

I have finally started to smoke barbecue.  My first project was Smoked Salmon, which came out great with a light fragrant apple wood favor.  I am currently making bacon, which requires one week of preserving, 4 hours of smoking and then finishing in the skillet.  I'll update everyone next week when I have completed my first batch of bacon.

Aaron Franklin, Austin, Texas, is considered one of the best barbeque pitmasters in the country.  He has won numerous awards in the BBQ game.  He has just published a barbeque book.  The first half of the book is devoted to smoker design, woods to select, cut and prep for smoking, meat preparation and cooking techniques.  I cannot wait to finish the book and try to apply his techniques and tips to my little smoker.


More to come.
