The Kamado Grill Cookbook: Foolproof Techniques for Smoking & Grilling, plus 193 Delicious Recipes

by Fred Thompson

“A great introduction to the kamado grill, with excellent recipes not just for grilling, smoking, and smoke-roasting but also for baking and braising.” —Chris Schlesinger, coauthor of The Thrill of the Grill   With its distinctive egg or oval shape, heat-insulating ceramics, and airtight seal, the kamado is a smoker’s dream, able to maintain low and slow temperatures for up to twelve hours with no additional charcoal needed. It’s the “set it and forget it” of smokers!   In addition to smoking, grillmaster Fred Thompson has discovered that the kamado is a wonderful all-round grill. Its ability to maintain precise temperatures means it can take on most any task—grilling, roasting, braising, steaming, even baking—guaranteeing a succulent result infused with delicious smoke flavor.   The Kamado Grill Cookbook contains 193 lip-smackin’-good recipes for everything from brisket and pork shoulder to seafood, poultry, lamb, vegetables, and more. Explore the reaches of what the kamado can smoke your own bacon and sausage; fire it up for Bourbon-Glazed Bone-in Ribeye Steaks; feed friends and family with an Old-Fashioned Oyster Roast; or end a meal with a kamado-baked Pig-Picking Fudge Cake. Fred will get you started on the right track with Kamado Basics, a primer chapter on everything you need to know to get the very best results from your kamado grill.  “Fred Thompson thinks like a flame and always knows what every ingredient wants . . . and why.” —Peter Kaminsky, coauthor of Mallmann on Fire

Great Stuff ... Lots of wonderful plans

Great collection of ideas for cooking on a ceramic grill. I have read many books and been cooking for years ... But I found many great new ideas. Thanks

Does not present well on Kindle

Most of the pages are light yellow with white font so the characters cannot be seen. I don't know if this was presented poorly by Kindle or a bad choice for the physical book as well.
