BBQ / Smoking Books - Any recommendations?
Hey fellas,
I got me a $250 gift card for amazon.com for Fathers Day so after using $199 of it on the WSM I figure I'd order a couple good BBQ / Smoking books. Any good recomendations? I already have "How To Grill" by Steve Raichlen (thanks for that recomendation grillfella!). Any good WSM accesories I might want to think about ordering while I'm at it? Thanks! |

A remote probe thermometer for the WSM would be a great buy. People seem to like the Maverick ET-73
As far as books, Dr. BBQ's Big Time BBQ Road Trip just came out and I think it's a fantastic marriage of bbq lore and recipes. Paul Kirk's Championship BBQ Sauces is a great go to for a ton of recipes as is his Championship Barbecue Book. Smoke and Spice by Cheryl and Bill Jamison, though times and temps are a little off. Again, totally solid recipes. One of my all time personal faves is Robb Walsh's Legends of Texas Barbecue-- it's just a cool book w/ great history and pictures. The recipes are good, but for recipes it's not my go to. People really like Willingham's Book. Mastering BBQ by Mike Stines is another good one....just chock full o' recipes....

Good choices for books there guys. I suggest that you buy a cover for your WSM and a couple of books. Either get them new with free shipping or wait and get them one at a time used for about $5-10 which includes shipping.

"Barbeque & sausage making secrets". It is an older book but gives alot of the science behind BBQ ie temps and what happens to the meats. Lots of great basic BBQ knowledge that would take years to accumalate.

Lots of good suggestions listed here.
I prefer Dr BBQ's first book.
