Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling

The founder of the destination website amazingribs.com applies the latest scientific research to barbecuing and grilling, including 200 recipes

For succulent results every time, nothing is more crucial than understanding the science behind the interaction of fire and food. In this definitive guide to the concepts, methods, and equipment of barbecuing and grilling, “Meathead” Goldwyn shatters the myths that stand in the way of perfection. “Busted” misconceptions include: 

  • Meat should be brought to room temperature before cooking: In fact, cold meat absorbs smoke better.
  • Hardwood charcoal is better than briquets: Actually, there’s no difference in flavor, and briquets last longer.
  • Meat needs to rest after grilling to reabsorb its juices: Tests show it does not take up juices but can become cold and overcooked.

Meathead reveals everything backyard heroes need to know, including how to decide when to use a dry rub or a brine and a detailed roundup of equipment—from grills and grates to the best thermometers. 

  

Lavishly designed with full-color photos and illustrations, this book contains all the sure-fire recipes for traditional American favorites: Tennessee Hollerin’ Sauce, Last Meal Ribs, Simon & Garfunkel Chicken, Schmancy Smoked Salmon, Roman-Style No-Knead Pizza, and Ultimate Corn on the Cob.

A-MAZE-N Tube Smoker 6″ Variety Pack w 1 pound ea of Cookin Pellets Perfect Mix, 100% Hickory, 1 Lb BBQR’s Delight Jack Daniels and 1 Lb Lumber Jack 100% Cherry

12″ Tube Smoker produces smoke for up to 4 hours during Cold Smoking, and up to 2 hours while supplementing smoke @ 225°+ in your smoker. The latest addition to my smoking arsenal is the A-MAZE-N-TUBE-SMOKER(AMNTS)Patent Pending The AMNTS uses the very same materials as my other smokers, but it’s in the shape of a tube. It was designed to burn pellets and supplement smoke at higher temps, in Pellet Grills/Smokers. This is where most pellet grills/smokers do not produce much smoke. The AMNTS adds additional smoke at cooking temps, regardless if your pellet grill/smoker is burning pellets or not. It can also be used in many other types of smokers or grills, where grate space is limited. Just like the other smokers we sell, the AMNTS will produce great smoke for cold smoking as well. The 12″ AMNTS will burn up to 4 hours and the 18″ AMNTS will burn for up to 6 hours, depending on the smoker temps, type of pellets and draft inside your smoker.

Product Features

  • A-MAZE-N-TUBE-SMOKER – 12 inch smoker
  • 1- 1lb bag of BBQR’s Delight Jack Daniels
  • 1- 1lb bag of Cookin Pellets Perfect Mix
