BBQ is an art that is being perfected. This book, the result of many encounters and long years of research and experimentation, will allow the reader to obtain perfect cooking with all types of grills and smokers. The author reveals his secrets, from the simplest to the most subtle, taking care to warn us against the most frequent blunders. The technical aspects of the BBQ are also covered, such as the choice of the best device and the most suitable utensils according to one's means and needs, or the optimal location for outdoor cooking and the use of the smoker. Playing with fire means knowing how to tame the heat and the flames and skilfully dose that "little taste of smoke" that makes all the difference. With Philippe Lapointe, it's also about impressing his guests with surprising recipes, but always in the pure tradition of the BBQ.
