Book Reviews of Backyard BBQ: The Art of Smokology
Book Review: If you are going to smoke, you must have this book
Summary: 5 Stars
The recipes are the best, but the insight on smoking techiniques is why you have to have this book. It teaches you so much. From the meals I've made, I've had so many people tell me it's the best meal they've ever eaten. How often does that happen? Because of this book, I know I could win BBQ contests. It's amazing.
There's even recipes for sides and learning how to make the smoked bacon & onion baked beans is worth the price of the book. I don't usually write reviews, but this book is so good that I felt compelled to do so. Enjoy.
Book Review: Great BBQ!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a really great purchase. I had just bought a smoker and did not have any recipes to start with. I did a little research and found this book. I decided to have a smoked ribs for our 4th of July and used this book to plan our meal. WE had baby back pork ribs on the 4th and beef ribs the following day. The rub and sauce recipes were great. Lots of compliments from family members. The book was helpful in selecting which woods to use with different types of meat. This will be my bible when I am smoking meat.Book Review: It just keeps getting better
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this book for a number of years and have never had a recipe disapoint me. The double smoked pulled pork is a neighborhood hit. We have get togethers throughout the year and it is always requested. I have five books related to smoking meats and this is the book I keep going back too. I have had some questions with a couple of recipes and I have e-mailed the author and he is always there to help me. Think of doing that with some authors and you get nothing. WOW!!

Book Review: Good info, poor editing
Summary: 4 Stars
The author clearly knows and loves his craft. Lots of down-to-earth advice and techniques.
The book would have benefitted immensely from some editing. The organization haphazard, and there are plenty of annoying grammatical errors.
If you think of it as a transcript of a conversation between a couple of friends over a couple of beers, then it's easier for a purist to overlook the flaws.
The content is good enough to overshadow the form in this case.
Book Review: Easy to understand, great recipes
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a BASIC book to introduce you into smoking meets. I smoked for the first time over the weekend, and thought why not try pulled pork, I smoked it exactly as the book called for and it was fantastic. I also made the "take my breath away" BBQ sauce which was to die for. He has some spelling mistakes, but his easy to understand/great tasting recipes more than make up for it. No pictures in the book, but you can easily accomplish your goal with out the visual aids
