What was meant to be a cautionary note was misinterpreted. Video clips and news reports started claiming that cats transmit potentially deadly infections to humans, and that cat-borne diseases can cause miscarriages among women.Days later, the region’s animal husbandry department issued a statement saying there’s no harm in keeping cats as pets as long as proper hygiene is maintained.

(AP Photo/Mukhtar Khan)For beginners, Mangum recommended smoking chicken, starting with wings to get used to a new smoker before trying a half chicken.

Despite all the variations on grilled red meat in the book, he said one of his favorite recipes is gai yang, whole grilled chicken from northeastern Thailand. Marinated for 12 hours with a puree of lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, turmeric and more, the chicken is grilled first on the cool side of the grill skin side up. Just before it finishes cooking, he flips it over the high heat to crisp the skin.Served with two dipping sauces, it’s smoky and lightly charred, and bursting with flavor.

“It’s this incredibly flavorful, bombastic version of chicken that people will be like, ‘Holy crap,’” he said. “It’s just so good.”From “Barbecue: Smoked & Grilled Recipes From Across the Globe,” by Hugh Mangum
