  2. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t The primary title (listed first) is the on-screen title of the episode, confirmed by what is written on AB's refrigerator. The alternate title, where present, is the one used by the Food Network web site, with rare exceptions.
  3. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r Production code from Episode Guide. All episodes after May 2005 were produced in high definition. High-def versions have an 'H' suffix added to the production code. It is believed that low-def versions use the same code with no suffix. The suffix is not used here. (The format of the production code changed after May 2005.)

  20. ^ See 401 "Where There's Smoke, There's Fish" for a different kind of DIY smoker.
