I got a meat smoking book for my birthday. Just started reading it... It's good enough to recommend.

Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto Hardcover – April 7, 2015

Written by Aaron Franklin, the guy in Auston who has lines down the street every day at his place. Won best BBQ in Texas.

Great book so far. Not a recipe book, but instructional and informative on everything from building a smoker, to selecting meat and type of wood. No mention of pellet smokers, and mainly wood. Great instructions on cooking a brisket.
