Escaping
The Heat
Heat:
1. the quality of being hot; high temperature (noun) 2. intensity of feeling, especially of anger or excitement (noun)
3. make or become hot or warm (verb)
Heat is one of the few words, much like barbecue, that can be used as a verb or noun. I most often use the word heat when I am complaining about how hot it can get in Southeast Georgia during the summer, which I do way too often. Recently I’ve been witness

to the other noun of the word heat as I have been back on the road attending some long overdue barbecue and steak events. The Windy City Smokeout, Hogs For A Cause, Smokin’ On Main, and hundreds of other big time barbe- cue events are finally coming to life again. I am overjoyed to see of these events taking place but the fact that I can’t attend them all surely can “heat” me up to the point of dis- appointment sometimes.
Questions for you.
Can you start a fire without with a spark?
Answer is yes...it’s actually heat that creates fire and not the spark. Several of the newer charcoal lighters demon- strate this theory very well (Looftlighter).
Can you cook food without heat?
Answer is yes...you can cook some fish and shrimp pro- teins with acid (Ceviche) and you can cure just about any meat protein with salt. I personally find it difficult to eat anything that has not passed over some type of heat source so personally I wouldn’t cook without heat.
Hope this rambling helps generate a smile, but if not I surely hope the cover story recipes on quick and easy treats will help you beat the heat in your backyard.
