Feeding the Fire

“Whether it’s redefining the chophouse at St. Anselm or tearing down the historic North/South barbecued brisket wall at Fette Sau, no one else does what Joe Carroll does with fire and smoke. I read this book fast and got so hungry I wanted to eat its pages.”

—John Hodgman, author, actor, and humorist

“Using Fette Sau’s dry rub and a nice low fire, I could probably eat this book . . . and come back for seconds.”

—Peter Kaminsky, author of Pig Perfect

“If smoked meats and smooth-sipping whiskey are your religion, Feeding the Fire is your prayer book. Come worship at the altar of smoke and fire with Brooklyn’s high priest of barbecue, Joe Carroll.”

—Steven Raichlen, author of the Barbecue! Bible book series

“Managing fire is the key to good barbecue, and Joe Carroll is the master. The best books inspire you to start cooking right now, and this is one of them. Feeding the Fire is essential reading for anyone who likes to play with fire.”

—Mike Mills and Amy Mills, 17th Street Barbecue
