Thanks for the three replies folks..
Todd.. those used book stores are really great.. never thought about a book on lettuce
Tom.. I agree that the forum is simply GREAT.. and, I know I've said it before.. but it probably IS all I'll need. I just guess I've been pulled in by looking for more specific books on smoke cooking..
Smokin.. that's probably why I chose those two books.. no other reason.. I've seen the Parks name on book lists before and thought I'd ask opinions.
I always forget to bring pen and paper along when I go to the bookstores.. I bought Jamison's book and Kirk's book.. both on sauces and rubs, etc.. but haven't used them yet.. just sticking by what is easy in my pantry and tastes good till I get my "Q" legs. I'd assume if I get too many books.. I'll never use 1/10 of the info..
Bill
