I agree with Magzeen, especially if you have some tangerines or blood oranges.

1 - 18oz orange marmalade
1/3 cup - honey
1/3 cup - brown sugar
1/3 cup - sriracha sauce
Bring to a boil and remove from heat.

I am not a huge fan of marmalade, but this is the best ever glaze for chicken wings!

I second the Smoke & Spice book. I have a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker and use the following site as a guide http://virtualweberbullet.com/cook.html You'll have to adjust here and there with the type of smoker you have. Whatever you do, don't smoke tri tip!

10-16 good lemons (Sunkist) I use a veggie peeler to peel the skin then take a sharp knife and filet any pith off. 1 liter of 190 proof Everclear (Yes, you can find 190 in CA if you have friends in the military). Combine peels and Everclear in non-reactive container able to accommodate approximately 3 quarts. Leave in a cool dark place for at least three weeks moving occasionally. After three or more weeks combine 6 cups of warm water and dissolve two and a half pounds of sugar until clear. Allow to cool and then mix with lemon peel and Everclear. Leave for two weeks. Strain out peel (I use cheesecloth) and bottle. Put bottle in freezer for a few hours. It should come out like syrup when pouring. http://www.sunburstbottle.com/glass-bottles I bought a case of bottles and then gave them out as Christmas presents. I made a lime version that came out great too.

I can't remember if I saw that posted on AT or elsewhere, but here's the link when I based mine off of:

I showed a friend this link and asked him to make it for me. Funny enough, mine also has three dowels like this one, but it's only 24" long. I painted mine black to match existing ledge shelves. I love it and it really works for me :)

I am surprised this site hasn't done a piece on Zhena's Gypsy Tea. You can't beat her Fireside Chai!
