Book was awful. Looked like a paper printed into a book, definitley not worth the price. My husband was looking for a book..he does competition BBQ and this was not helpful.

I bought this book based largely on the title after searching for select BBQ cook books. I’ve been cooking BBQ for just a couple of years and am trying to reach the “next level” by refining my recipes and techniques, and looked forward to a better understanding of BBQ competition and the techniquesrecipes for preparing all the meat categories. There are four things I found disappointing:
1) The recipes rely on rubs or sauces that are only available through certain commercial sources.
2) There are several rub and sauce recipes, but none are referenced or used in the book.
3) The descriptions of trimming and preparation could be greatly improved with the addition of more photographs.
4) This is a useful book only if you already have experience with BBQ.
I also have to agree with one other reviewer that the book cost is about $15 more than it’s worth.

I received this book as a gift, This book was a HUGE disappointment! If your a beginner it is ok, if your a seasoned competitor or pitmaster save your money, the only secret I can see is how they feel charging you $29.95 for a book like this is with such a deceptive title is amazing. I’ll be selling mine alot cheaper then they are listed here, sorry but this one isnt worth your time or money! If your looking for a good beginners book I would buy Smoke and Spice!
