This is a truly excellent publication with clear tips on how to prepare meat, poultry and fish for the barbecue, handy notes on avoiding charred food, useful cooking times and the most delicious and inventive marinades, sauces and relishes. It is accessible for the whole family to read and use, a very practical guide and a must for any novice barbecuer, the book has the depth to provide a broad range of recipes which will keep you going all summer and also very practical tips on how to roast your turkey on the BBQ at Christmas. A great present and a great all round cookery as well as recipe book for barbecuing.

Without a doubt, the best book on barbecue I have seen to date. The first chapter is a BBQ tutorial followed by loads of interesting barbecue recipes - including a few vegetarian ones.
Recipes are included for homemade sauces, rubs and mops - no bottled sauces recommended in the recipes. This book is for the serious barbecuer or somebody who wants to raise their BBQ IQ.
The author was trained at the Culinary Institute of America, so he knows his stuff. Quality information, quality recipes, quality photos - very well done. Overall, a most impressive and interesting read.

Book is excellent, it is written for both begginers as well as pro's so everyone will be satisfied with it. One really good thing is that it was published in UK (Europe) so all measures used are European which makes the book easier to read compared with US editions. It also contains useful graphic tips which can help you learn some new moves with your bbq tools and meat's. Can't get enough of reading really good recipes and preparing them on daily basis :)
Congratulations to author and graphic designer of this book!

While there is nothing wrong with this book- be careful if ordering!! I am a big fan of Weber and Amazon, but I don't understand- this book is IDENTICAL to Weber's "Way to Grill" but there is no indication or warning!!! I love Weber's "Way to Grill" and have used the recipes for over a year. So I ordered this book looking forward to more great recipes. But it was identical(just a little smaller) and it cost me extra postage to return it. Needless to say I'm not happy. Weber is great, Jamie Purviance's recipes are great, so I don't know how to rate this product - probably 5 stars for content and 0 stars for Weber's and/or Amazon's marketing. Please DO NOT MARKET THE SAME BOOK WITH TWO DIFFERENT TITLES!!!!!!

This book contains all that you will need to be an excellent barbecutioner. The book is the absolute best primer/introduction to BBQ cooking, something all too many people (lets be honest, its mostly men) think simply requires; taking mead out of its packaging container, slapping the meat on the BBQ then moving everything around (not really knowing why they're doing it), then finally taking the food off the grill after 45 minutes, because it "looks done".
This book tells you the real way to do it, and most usefully it goes into great detail, for example most BBQ recipes will ask you to marinade your food first, but they rarely given any indication of how long the food should be marinated for, and this varies for all meats.
'When should i marinade my meat; 1 hour in advance, 1 day in advance.?' the answer varies by meats, and is all explained in the book very well, along with the whys.
For me, cookbooks should always be explaining the why, as that is the simple biggest word i hear from friend/family trying to follow a recipe the have seen in a book ('why does he want me to do that?', 'why should i put it in the fridge for 2 hours before BBQ-ing it?'). This books consistently explain why they are doing something, or why you should get a particular (perhaps more expensive or harder to source) ingredient. For this reason Weber's Complete Barbecue Book: Step-by-step Advice and Over 150 Delicious Barbecue Recipes is a very educational cookbook, as such information will help your cooking skills massively as you learn more about the basic reasons of why things are done in the culinary world.

Bought this as had just bought a Weber gas grill which came with no cookbook? It is very good (if more for the American market) and is especially good for gas grill owners. Good price for good product.

Great book with some excellent recipes. Not only that it's a great guide to how to control your charcoal BBQ - with techniques for maintaining temperature, how to grill with direct or indirect heat etc. A real help for using your BBQ to make some real tasty dishes
