Fire Birds

Poultry is one of the most versatile meats to cook over live fire, popular in grill cultures across planet barbecue. From the Republic of Georgia comes tabaka, citrusy butterflied chickens grilled under a press to compact the meat and crisp the skin. On the side? A piquant rhubarb tkemali sauce. From Fez in Morocco, experience grilled chicken and onion kebabs marinated in and sauced with spice-scented charmoula. Pound cake gets the grill treatment with fresh berry "salsa" and smoked whipped cream. Finally, not even Norman Rockwell would recognize this magnificent bird...a smoke-roasted organic turkey with butter and sliced fresh truffles under the skin. Tabaka chicken with rhubarb tkemali; Moroccan grilled chicken kebabs with charmoula; Grilled pound cake with berry salsa and smoked whipped cream; Truffle stuffed smoked turkey.

Pac-Rim Smoke

Though grills are traditionally small, Pan-Asian pit masters (and mistresses) developed an edgy, innovative big flavor grill culture that celebrates the "fifth taste," umami . Striped bass is stuffed with lemongrass, chiles, scallions, and ginger and grilled then, wait for it the fish is topped with more aromatics and doused with sizzling hot sesame oil. Thai beef salad is a mosaic of color and textures with an emphasis on veggies. Corn comes basted with sesame soy butter and finished with fire-toasted coconut. Last up, pounded chicken thighs enclose Chinese ham, sausage, shiitake mushrooms, and cheese, and then get basted with Beijing barbecue sauce. Whole grilled striped bass with Asian aromatics; Grilled Thai beef salad; Coconut-grilled corn with sesame soy butter; Char Siu chicken thighs with Beijing barbecue sauce.

Where There's Smoke

Smoke is the soul of barbecue. In this episode, you'll learn how to smoke duck breasts (they're tricky), achieving crisp skin without overcooking the meat. Cherry salsa underscores duck's affinity for fruit. Vegetarians and meat eaters alike will devour our cheese- and bean-stuffed poblanos and savory smoked mushroom bread pudding don't forget this recipe come Thanksgiving. But if it's carnivores you're feeding, smoke a hefty awe-inspiring beef shoulder clod until the outside is as black as coal and the inside is fork-tender. A tangy mustard barbecue sauce inspired by the Germans who settled Texas Hill Country makes the perfect complement. Cherry-smoked duck breasts; Project Smoke chiles rellenos; Smoked mushroom bread pudding; Texas beef clod with mustard barbecue sauce.

Extreme Smoke

In this "surf and turf" show, meet the lively Stephanie Munz, a Santa Barbara-based diver/marine biologist who brings ocean-fresh sea urchins for Steven to grill-topped with an egg and served with grilled bread. Local spiny lobster gets the caveman treatment-split and roasted in the shell directly on the embers. Meanwhile, luxurious Alaskan king crab gets grilled and served with garlicky absinthe butter. Representing turf are bone-in veal chops blasted with rosemary smoke (yes, the process involves a blowtorch) and beef plate ribs spit-roasted on a wood-burning rotisserie and served with ember-roasted onions and peppers and tangy Chilean pebre (salsa). Grilled sea urchins ("egg on eggs"); Caveman lobsters and grilled king crab with absinthe butter; Grilled veal chops with blowtorch-smoked rosemary; Rotisserie beef plate ribs with fire-roasted onions and peppers, Chilean salsa.

Perfect Hog

This show goes whole hog, with pork belly, chops, and pork loin. Up first, pastrami bacon-made by brine-curing pork belly, then rubbing it with a pepper-coriander pastrami rub and slow-smoking it over hardwood. An apple cider-based brine and a rum-spiked finishing glaze propel pork chops into the winner's circle. Hungry yet? Next, "pork and beans" like you've never seen them: butterflied pork loin stuffed with brown sugar, baked beans, and a shot of bourbon get draped with bacon and smoke-roasted. Finally, thick rings of sweet onions are doused with hot sauce, spiraled with bacon, and crisped over the fire for an addictive side dish. Pastrami bacon; Cider-brined pork chops; Yankee porchetta ("pork and beans"); Bacon-wrapped onion rings.
