Book Reviews of Backyard BBQ: The Art of SmokologyBook Review: Best in class - who cares about the grammar? Summary: 5 StarsIn order to learn about this great hobby, I purchased several books including (1) Extreme Barbecue: Smokin' Rigs and 100 Real Good Recipes, (2) Smoke & Spice: Cooking with Smoke, and (3) Peace, Love, & Barbecue.
My second favorite was Peace, Love, & Barbecue. However, MY very favorite (maybe not yours - if you're looking for an English Department manuscript) is this one by Chef Richard (McPeake's).
The reason it's my favorite is because it is the MOST USEFUL. He includes very specific and helpful "do's and don't's" and I just don't find as much useful information in the other books on the subject.
For example, he's got the precise cooking times and temperatures, based on the weight of whatever meat. He has lots of detail on the fuel. He's got great info on things you probably wouldn't consider, like what temperature to have the meat before it goes in the smoker.
I have the feeling that this guy has the most talent as a cook. Heck - never trust a skinny cook (look at the cover). You can tell his sense of flavor by how he goes on about which woods go best with which meats. Chef Richard is homespun - he's no English scholar, but I don't care - I appreciate his knowledge as a COOK! Yummy.
