Backyard BBQ with Fire and Spice invites you to gather around the grill, smoker, and firepit for creative recipes and infectious enthusiasm for smoked meat and seafood.
If you're tired of the same old recipes for the smoker and grill, consider this your invite to a whole new world of flavours.
Tony Ramirez has long blazed his own trail under the TFTI (Thanks For The Invite) brand. Maybe you've seen his instant classics like spicy Filipino BBQ chicken skewers or Cajun honey butter wings. Or maybe you were hooked by his addictive "Dynamite Lumpia." No matter what you tried, chances are you agreed with his signature phrase: "That's Money."
In Backyard BBQ with Fire and Spice, Tony brings you into his own backyard for an insider's guide on how he crafts his hits. You'll use a variety of cooking techniques and discover new flavour profiles with one-of-a-kind recipes sure to impress your family and friends. Recipes include:
Filipino: Spicy Filipino BBQ Chicken Skewers, Tocino Pulled Pork Sandwich, Bistek Tagalog, Bistek Beef Skewers, Smoked Chicken Arroz Caldo, BBQ Adobo Spareribs, Adobo BBQ Chicken, Dynamite Lumpia
Cajun: Cajun Honey Butter Shrimp, Cajun Moco Loco, Cajun Shrimp Lumpia, Crispy Cajun Garlic Drumsticks, Cajun Foil Boil Packs
Wings: Bloody Mary Wings, Sinigang Wings, Spicy Fish Sauce Wings, Buffalo Wings on Steroids, Smoked and Fried Buffalo Turkey Wings, Sticky Adobo Wings
Party Food: Garlic Butter Steak Bites, Smoked Cajun Queso, Chorizo Jalapeño Poppers, Prosciutto-Wrapped Brie Poppers, Grilled Mollejas (a.k.a. Sweetbread), Smoked Salmon Chowder
Smoked My Way: Bacon-Wrapped Pork Belly Lollipops, Pastrami Beef Ribs, Foil Boat-Method Brisket, BBQ Whiskey Pork Spare Ribs, Chicharron Pork Belly, Picanha and Habanero Chimichurri Sandwich
With a robust exploration of techniques (five ways to make wings!) in addition to the recipes, this is a book that ups your BBQ game with every cook. Welcome to the party!

About the Author
Tony Ramirez, also known as TFTI BBQ on social media, has honed his backyard barbecue skills over a span of nearly 20 years in the Bay Area. He is entirely self-taught, but draws heavily on his parents' cooking and culinary traditions-Filipino and Cajun. TFTI BBQ recipes are known for their unique but approachable flavor combinations and techniques that sometimes bend the barbeque "rules." Tony has partnered with a variety of major brands from Chargriller and Camp Chef to Miller Lite and Nomad, and is beloved in the live fire barbeque community-frequently appearing with other high-level creators. Find him online as TFTI.BBQ or on Embers TV.
