I second Serious Barbecue by Adam Perry Lang. Great book

Another one I like is BBQ Makes Everything Better by Aaron Chronister and Jason Day.

Frank Grimes · 08-02-2011, 08:32 AM

A third vote for Serious BBQ, its a great book. I also like Low and Slow:the art of bbq in 5 easy Lessons by Gary Wiviott. He spends a lot of time explaining how to get and the importance of a clean burning fire, and it has some great recipes in it.

Big Time BBQ is a great book. Here's my review of it too: http://q4fun.blogspot.com/2011/02/bo...-barbecue.html

Another good one is Holy Smoke. It looks more at NC BBQ but gives an interesting read of the history of it and some great recipes.

I picked up[ the Southern Livings BBQ cook book and it is good too. Especially for beginners. Nice pictures to show how to set up offset smoking in a cooker and other little helpful tips.

I like Peace, Love, and BBQ by Mike Mills. It's a good read in addition to some good recipes. Some of the Raichlen books are actually pretty interesting as well for a wide range of regional recipes. BBQ USA and Planet BBQ are fun to read through and have some decent recipes.

Brian in Maine · 08-02-2011, 06:31 PM

Peace love and BBQ, and any of Dr. BBQ's books (Especially Big time BBQ Cookbook) will be good for an entertaining read, and many good recipes. I use Mike mills magic dust, in combination with Dr BBQ's big time BBQ sauce, and haven't found another combination that I like better.

eddieh70301 · 08-02-2011, 06:45 PM

Paul Kirks Championship Barbeque and Big Bob Gibsons along with Adam Perry Lang are my go to books. Don't have any of the Dr BBQ's book yet.

H2OFowl · 08-02-2011, 06:59 PM

I'm wading my way through Steven Raichlen's BBQ USA (774 pages).

Although I'm not a big fan of the TV show, the book isn't too bad. I like the stories with each section.

My 2 cents.

I have several of those book that i have receive over the years . They are sitting on shelf collecting dust. They are all basically the same. if I need to know any infromation I usaully use google.

I personally like Championship BBQ Secrets for Real Smoked Food by Karen Putnam. Has a great sections for first time easy recipes all the way to more complicated meals. Plenty of of brines, marinades, rubs, appetizers, beef, poultry, seafood veggies,lamb, and fruit.:icon_blush
