Chef Roger Mooking returns for the second season of Man Fire Food.
Roger's fascination with flames continues as he travels across the country in search of the most inventive ways to cook with fire, and this season the heat is hotter and the flavours are bolder.
From traditional Hawaiian grub smoked in an underground lava pit to whole ducks on Brazilian skewers cooked on top of an outdoor oven, each stop delivers sizzling recipes and out-of-this-world heat.
Over the course of the series, Roger discovers the most innovative smokers, fire pits, and rigs the US has to offer along with chefs and home cooks who are manning the machines and preparing delicious and flavourful dishes.
In one episode, Roger ventures to a farmer's market in Oahu, Hawaii, where he and a local resident take the art of smoking to a whole new level.
They smoke pork, meat and turkey tails with guava and kiawe wood in a smoker crafted from the most unlikely materials - an Air Force cargo container, an airplane food cart, and a computer fan.
Another journey takes Roger to St. Helena in Northern California where Chef Stephen Barber celebrates Argentinian Asado to the fullest at Farmstead Restaurant.
Chef Stephen built a cook area complete with an eighty-five gallon cauldron, planchas and metal crosses for the asado.
The end result is a slow-cooked spring lamb seasoned to perfection with Mediterranean flavours.

Genre: Nature, Science, Documentary
Panorama meets some of the brightest minds in climate science advocating more drastic action to halt climate catastrophe - including controlling the power of the weather.
Some scientists say technology can help in the fight against climate change.
They include mechanical trees that absorb carbon, machines that brighten clouds and a solar reactor that makes fuel from fresh air.
The scientists say their inventions have been shown to work at small scale but would need massive investment to reduce the effect of our greenhouse gas emissions.
Reporter Richard Bilton meets the scientists trying to save the world and investigates whether they can really make a difference.
Carbon capture lies at the heart of international efforts to tackle climate change.
Richard witnesses some of this new technology - including natural underground storage vaults in Iceland and mechanical trees that absorb a thousand times more carbon than their natural counterparts.
Yet carbon capture is expensive and slow, prompting calls for radical ideas.
In Australia, Richard observes early experiments into solar radiation management.
It could reverse global warming almost overnight if successful - and destroy the planet if it goes wrong.
Prominent voices in climate science are joined by those living with the repercussions of inaction in this documentary.
