If You Can Grill, You Can Smoke

New York Times Best Selling cookbook author and James Beard Award Nominee, Jamie Purviance will be joining me at 4:45 tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon on the Puffman Show. (I might lead into this interview with the old Platter's tune, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" or perhaps "Smokin' In The Boys Room". "Smokey Mountain Rain" or "Smoke From A Distant Past" are also possibilities). Chef Puviance is considered one of the nation's top grilling experts and his cookbooks have sold millions of copies worldwide. He's written several cookbooks for iconic grill maker Weber Grills, and his latest book, "Weber's Smoke" is dedicated to the art of smoke cooking. I'll be giving away TWO copies of "Weber's Smoke" right after the interview. It's a neat book which includes 87 recipes-each one with a color photo-that range from low and slow favorites like brisket and ribs, to grilled foods like steak and fish where just a hint of smoke is added. The book retails for $21.95 and if you're not one of the TWO winners tomorrow, I suggest visiting weber.com/cookbooks. The book is considerably longer than my interview...my eyes start watering when I get around smoke too long!
