Peace Love and BBQ and Praise the Lard. Mike Mills is known as “The Legend”. If you ever get a chance to go to one of his classes or just sit down and chat with Mike you will be glad you did. There are a handful of people in BBQ that I would never pass up a opportunity to talk to and Mike is one of them. His books are a great reflection on him. Helps that his daughter works on these books with him.

I thought of 2 more books that I utilize every so often when I'm looking for new ideas.
Melissa Cookston : Smoking in the Boys Room And Diva Q's book : Diva Q's Barbecue Both are fantastic and were great resources when I was opening my BBQ food trailer. There are so many great recipes in here and it helped a lot when I was working on menu options and especially sides. Melissa's mac&cheese recipe is simple but so delicious and people swarm my truck when I bring it.

I guess I'm a collector. I have over 30 books on BBQ. I usually just read the stories and look at the techniques. LOVE LOVE Franklin. Myron got me to use a sleeping bag with my brisket. Raichlen is ok (even though I have 3 of his) but sometimes I just don't want to work that hard and Kirk doesn't do it for me . Meathead has got some great science and helped me make some of the best pastrami. In this whole thread Jamie Purviance wasn't mentioned once that I saw. Yes it's big corporate Weber, but his techniques and recipes are pretty good, extremely well photographed and he seems like a good guy. His smoked turkey with big time gravy is a tradition. If I could only have one book to rule all others, it'd probably Weber's Way to Grill.

This photo was taken in 2011, I've added a few since then. There are so many different styles of cookbooks in general. Some have some history, some are mostly recipes, others teach you techniques. Amazon has the "Look Inside" feature so you can check out the forward and table of contents, plus a few teaser pages before you buy. Barbecue is heavy on techniques so I tend to favor BBQ books that demonstrate techniques through recipes. If you only have a recipe, you are limited to one dish. If you understand technique, you can create many recipes.

I'm not a Meathead fan but I actually agree with him here. Salt is truly the only critical seasoning, so I want 100% control of how much is added and when. I also prefer to dry-brine so adding salt alone the day before works better for me. |
