How to Barbecue and Roast on the Grill

Author: Cooks Illustrated Editors

This volume in the How To Cook Master Series presents the best methods for mastering the indirect heat cooking methods key to the best barbecue -- from low and slow-cooking barbecue techniques for ribs, pulled pork, or brisket, to medium-heat techniques for grill-roasting turkey or pork loin. One of a unique collection of beautifully hardbound, single topic cookbooks from the editors of Cook's Illustrated, How to Barbecue and Roast on the Grill shares the results gathered from months of kitchen testing. We found that brining a turkey prior to grill-roasting helps to keep the meat moist and tender. We discovered a method for barbecuing a whole salmon that produces a delicious outer crust with a moist, tender interior. We discuss equipment, when and how to use wood chips or chunks, and the best methods for maintaining an even fire. This title is an indispensable book for the outdoor cook.
