NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A complete meat and brisket-cooking education from the country's most celebrated pitmaster and owner of the wildly popular Austin restaurant Franklin Barbecue.When Aaron Franklin and his wife, Stacy, opened up a small barbecue trailer on the side of an Austin, Texas, interstate in 2009, they had no idea what they d gotten themselves into. Today, Franklin Barbecue has grown into the most popular, critically lauded, and obsessed-over barbecue joint in the country (if not the world) and Franklin is the winner of every major barbecue award there is.
In this much-anticipated debut, Franklin and coauthor Jordan Mackay unlock the secrets behind truly great barbecue, and share years worth of hard-won knowledge. Franklin Barbecue is a definitive resource for the backyard pitmaster, with chapters dedicated to building or customizing your own smoker; finding and curing the right wood; creating and tending perfect fires; sourcing top-quality meat; and of course, cooking mind-blowing, ridiculously delicious barbecue, better than you ever thought possible.
Lese-Probe zu „Franklin Barbecue “
The notion of putting everything I know about barbecue into a book is a daunting one. Not because I know so much I m still learning but because of the nature of barbecue itself. It s because the printed word definitive, exacting, permanent is in many ways antithetical to the process of cooking barbecue, which is, for lack of a better word, loosey-goosey.So many people want to have a recipe, but with all of the variables in barbecue wood, quality of fire, meat selection, type of cooker, weather, and so on there is no magic recipe. It just doesn t operate with absolutes of temperature, time, and measurement. In fact, there are no rights or wrongs in barbecue (well, that may be a stretch), no just one way, and certainly no simple black and white. You re much better off with general knowledge of what you want and an arsenal of tricks to have up your sleeve.
So unlike most books that you may flip through a few times and then place on the shelf to display with the others, I hope this one will live a good portion of its life out in the field, be it in the kitchen or out by the smoker. These recipes aren t really recipes but more of an idea of how I go about cooking barbecue and some guidelines.
Now, this book is not a survey of barbecue traditions across the country. While I ve been all over the United States and have eaten lots of great barbecue, there s really only one tradition that I know intimately: my own. My style is steeped in the tradition of Central Texas, but it s also got some wrinkles that I discovered along the way.
So, with the greatest respect to all of the other styles around the country, in this book, all I discuss is what we do. Yes, I am wedded to the tradition of great Central Texas barbecue and the principles it holds brisket, oak, open flame but I m also always willing to try something new or look into new designs that might make things cook faster and better. And my hope is that by being hyperdetailed and specific about my

techniques, I will help you in your cooking and in your ability to develop your own style too. At Franklin Barbecue, the only thing we ve got is the dedication to make the best food we can and to keep it consistently the same every day (which itself is the biggest challenge). It s that dedication that keeps us evolving as cooks and constantly thinking about new ways to do old things.
You ll notice that there s a serious thread of do-it-yourself running through this book. That s because one of the words with which I ve been known to describe myself is cheap. For large stretches of my life, I didn t have the cash to buy things I wanted, so I often just figured out how to make them myself. In the process, I sometimes discovered how to make them better or at least how to tailor them to my own needs. However, while I participate in DIY culture and continue to build stuff all of the time, it s by no means necessary to take this approach in order to benefit from this book. I say, use whatever equipment you ve got on hand; ideally, the information I present here will help you make the best of it.
Most barbecue books I ve looked at are organized around the major food groups: beef, pork, poultry, and so on. (At least, those are my food groups.) In this book, which isn t heavily focused on recipes, I ve taken a different approach. It s a more elemental and theoretical breakdown of the barbecue process. In each chapter, I drill down into some fairly technical information with regard to how the process of barbecue works. It can get a little geeky, but I hope that in a way the geekiness keeps you engaged. I include this information because I myself love the technical details. Understanding how something works is the first st

Pressezitat
Aaron Franklin makes the finest barbecue I ve ever had, barbecue worth waiting for. His work and his words express a truly rare level of commitment and expertise. With Franklin Barbecue, he shares it all in a book that, fortunately, you don t have to wait for. Anthony Bourdain
I used to think Aaron Franklin was a genius: There was his rise from backyard dabbler to king of Texas pitmasters; his mind-altering brisket that made normally rational people (myself included) wait hours for the chance to eat it; and his insistence that game-changing barbecue doesn t come from miracles but rather elbow grease. Then he wrote this book and gave all his secrets away. Now everyone from me to you to your neighbor who can t grill a chicken breast will be able to make award-winning barbecue. He s not a genius anymore; he s a god.
Andrew Knowlton, restaurant and drinks editor, Bon Appétit
The most refreshing barbecue book to come along yet. Rather than preaching about one true way, Aaron Franklin guides you through all the wood and smoke so that you can find your own style. And instead of just listing ingredients and rattling off generic recipes, these pages tell the story of a place and a barbecue tradition steeped in history. This isn t just a book about barbecue;
this book is Central Texas barbecue.
Daniel Vaughn, barbecue editor, Texas Monthly, and author of The Prophets of Smoked Meat
Pure genius! Aaron Franklin has distilled years worth of barbecue knowledge into this book. In it, he exposes the sacred insights of a top pitmaster information that can otherwise only be learned from long nights spent staring at a fire, shovel in hand, constantly prodding and pinching your meat to figure out that just perfect point of doneness. This book is a game changer: read it, and your barbecue will improve overnight!
Adam Perry Lang, chef, restaurateur, and author of Serious Barbecue
