Steve Raichlen Best of Barbecue Signature Series. Author of the Barbecue Bible and How To Grill, and host of BBQ University on PBS, Steven Raichlen brings his best tools to your grill. Wine & great barbecue share much in common-they both owe their soulful flavor to wood. They've brought wine & barbecue together in this unique fuel: red wine barrel chunks for smoking & grilling. Toss a few of these convenient size pieces on your fire and get ready for an extraordinary flavor of oak smoke with red wine overtones. When grilling steaks, chops, and seafood, toss a handful of chunks on a hot bed of charcoals, or on a gas grill, place directly over one of the gas burners under the grill grate. Anyways you use them, the wine and smoke flavors are out of this world.
