Master the art of starting great cooking fires and learn about the best fuel sources. Then tackle a variety of recipes using direct heat, indirect heat, skillets, skewers, and more. Derek has been researching global fire-cooking techniques for the better part of a decade. From travelling to South Africa to learn about authentic peri peri chicken to watching obscure YouTube videos to master lamb asador, he shares it all in this book. Readers looking to try “vertical rotisseries” by tying chickens with twine or picanha like a Brazilian steakhouse have come to the right place. The book shares some of Derek’s favorite (and value-friendly) butcher cuts, as well as some simple butchery for breaking down large cuts of meat. Sample recipes include:

• Herb Brush Basted Bone-In Ribeye
