Which do you prefer?

[Bossmanbbq]

Or which or you more likely to buy BBQ cookbooks or BBQ instructional videos? Just curious to see what thoughts are on this...

 

[bbqbull]

Books give you the recipes. Videos walk you through the entire process of how to trim your meat, rub it and how to cook it.

I own both, and think the videos were much more helpfull to me starting out in Q. But there were no folks around my neck of the woods at the time where I could get a mentor to start me out.

Hope this helps awnser your question?

 

[N8man]

Rather have the Book

 

[Mitch]

Books. I have about 200 cookbooks, 20 of them on BBQ. Videos, none.

 

[Roo-B-Q'N]

I am with Bull on his as well. Plus books have pretty pictures.

 

[BBQ Grail]

I prefer cookbooks. The only instructional BBQ videos I need I get from Bigmista. I'm still waiting for the Brisket Sequel!

 

[Meat Burner]

Voted for the cookbook cause it asked what you would buy. Really like the instructional videos. Wish more were available for free.

 

[NotleyQue]

I like the videos because you can see whats being done.

But at the end of the day, I prefer a good cookbook.

 

[Contracted Cookers]

overall .cooking methods video. actual recipes books.

 

[MountainMan]

I have them bouth.............

BUT I find that it is MUCH easier to find and go to information in printed form.

It is cool to sit and watch a video BUT to go back and get info... It's the book or web EVERY time!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Brauma]

I didnt even know there were vids available. fark

 

[Pyle's BBQ]

I cannot write fast enough while watching a video to get all the info presented.

 

[River City Smokehouse]

I do not own either one. I do have a video that I recorded of a BBQ show from the food network one time. The kids taped over it.

 

[DaChief]

Books as they can travel with me to quiet reading places :biggrin:

 

[Big-Country]

I prefer cookbooks.

 

[MattCom]

I prefer books, I'm a book fiend though.
I still have my Chilton Manual for my 1st car... 1968 Plymouth Fury III, rip 1986.

READING, IT'S FUNDAMENTAL.:shock:
Somehow I've always had poor grammar...:|

 

[Jack2u2]

I prefer books, although I can see where a video would be useful when it comes to procedure. A book can say apply a rub, but a video can show you how much. A book can say "a light wispy smoke", but a video could show you blue/white/grey smoke. A book will say to trim the brisket, a video could show you how and how much. All a matter of preference, I guess.

 

[ZILLA]

I'd choose both as they both have value.

 

[smoke-n-my-i's]

Books in my opinion are better. Videos will usually, at least in my house, get broken. Kids love to leave them out to get stepped on at night, or hide them under something etc.... also I find with videos, they will usually get looked at one or two times, and then they do collect dust if they don't get broken. Books sit on my desk as they get used all the time, and they are a great place to make notes when I make mods to the recipe....

I choose the cook books because... I can flip through the recipies faster than I can load and scroll through the videos:icon_bigsmil
