Best smoke book

This is not BBQ per se, but is a VERY helpful book for making meats that can become BBQ...

Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing by
Michael Ruhlman

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Charcuterie-Craft-Salting-Smoking-Curing/dp/0393058298"]Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing: Michael Ruhlman, Brian Polcyn, Thomas Keller: 9780393058291: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]
 
This isn't exactly a smoking book, but one of my favorites is Steven Raichlen's "How to Grill" [ame="http://www.amazon.com/How-Grill-Complete-Illustrated-Techniques/dp/0761120149"]How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques: Steven Raichlen: 9780761120148: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]. It has some smoking recipes and info, but most of the recipes are for grilling. Everything I have made from it has been amazing.
 
I have found some of the books by big name people that supposedly reveal their secrets are always missing a little bit that you have to figure out yourself.
 
So far, my favorite is Dr. BBQ's Big Time Barbecue Cookbook.

Not BBQ, but closely related is Charcuterie by Michael Ruhlman.

I have two "barbecue" cookbooks on the bookshelf in my office that I refer to often. Both of them have been suggested in this thread...

Adam Perry Lang's Serious Barbecue
Andy Husband and Chris Hart's Wicked Good Barbecue

I should note that I own almost every barbecue book that is available (meaning in print now, and not self-published), and we have just about every book suggested here for sale in our store, but these are the two I love. Adam Perry Lang has a newer book called Charred and Scruffed that I really like as well.
 
I'm in middle of reading "BBQ Crossroads," Robb Walsh's new book in which he and a photographer take a road trip across the South and visit barbecue joints. You get recipes and barbecue oral history together in a travelogue. And they are picky about their barbecue stops. They eat only at places that do barbecue in wood-fired pits.
Great story-telling and wonderful pictures.
Be warned, however, that Walsh is no fan of competition barbecue.
