We know grilling month is long gone, as is the summer barbecue season. But we got one last, lingering taste of smoky, outdoor flavor in yesterday's New York Times Sunday Magazine — only it was for smoking food indoors (hooray for apartment living!)...
From the NY Times Magazine: How To Make an Indoor Smoker
In the article, Jill Santopietro describes smoking all sorts of food (ribs, mozzarella, pears, tomatoes) in a wok in her apartment. The process is one we've heard of before, although we've never tried it: Fill a wok with wood chips, set a round grate on top, and voila, you have a miniature, indoor smoker.
There's specific instruction to disable your smoke alarm for the event — something we do frequently — but otherwise, it sounds pretty hassle free.

BBQ season is not gone. Perhaps "Summer BBQ" season is gone, but "Fall BBQ" season is just getting started!
How come people don't BBQ all year round? It's so refreshing to stand outside in your parka tending to the grill.
Yum!
...maybe it's a Canadian thing..

How funny - I was recently visiting Mom in Ohio and asked her why she had an old high school-style locker in her garage.
It seems my stepfather is turning it into a smoker!!!!!
Clever idea, huh?
