a great grilling resource October 6, 2008
If you grill, and you want to expand what you are capable of, beyond basic techniques that may just be wrong, this work is a great reference and should help you exceed your present abilities as a grilling cook, especially with the complicated world of charcoal and smoking meets and vegetables
My desert island grilling book September 17, 2008
Yes, if I had to choose just one grilling cook book, it would be this one--not just for the exhaustively clear and detailed instructions for barbecuing a comprehensive range of foods, but for the outstanding sauce, rub, glaze and marinade recipes. It's all carefully tested and presented for both charcoal and gas grillers.
There are even some "ultimate" recipes in here; the one for charcoal grilled maple glazed salmon comes to mind.
I upgraded to this new edition when it was first published, and it was well worth it for key additions like that grilled salmon.
For its sheer competent scope, this book has no true rival of which I am aware. It deserves a place in the core cookbook collection of the serious griller, from beginner to expert.
 Good companion to Cooks Illustrated August 22, 2008
If you like Cooks Illustrated or America's Test Kitchen, you will like this book dedicated to BBQ and grilling. Same style, same type of recipes.
Best Grilling & Barbecue Book Around August 11, 2008
I got this book for my husband for his birthday and boy did I hit the mark! My husband doesn't read for pleasure but he, no pun intended, ate this book up. He refers to it constantly and everything he has tried from the book has been wonderful. He says that it is full of the reason why a technique is used and he has learned much from it. I then bought it for my twenty-something son and he says the same thing!! It was a good investment for both my culinary tastes and to get my husband to read something!! The food is great and I don't get chenobyl chicken anymore!!! Really worth the read. Period.
Fantastic! July 7, 2008

I'm not much of a meat eater, but wanted to be able to cook really good meat when I grill. This book may make me a meat lover! Each recipe is very educational as they explain many of the methods they tried before determining the best method for grilling a particular item. I've tried four recipes so far and they have all been absolutely perfect. I grilled burgers for a crowd on the 4th of July and throughout the meal everyone kept commenting on how good the burgers were. Seems that burgers should be simple, but now I know how to make a perfectly cooked juicy burger! The pork tenderloin recipe was also superb; tender and juicy. I won't be looking for any other grilling or barbeque cookbook.
