Weber's Big Book of Grilling

I got so involved in the book, I had to buy another. The arrangement is great-if you don't start with condiments, a rub, a marinade, a sauce, you're wasting a good fire. The assortment and explanations are prodigious, and the commentary is fun. This is a droll friend who just happens to be a great grill chef taking the novice and the "chef d'backyard cuisine" alike along a path of hot coals to a satisfying feast. Lots of Asian and Mexican influence, and fish is treated with familiarity, not like an afterthought. While I don't understand the photo on page 165, the photography like the commentary, feeds the soul as well as the body-- the dog stealing a steak--adds to the family, friends, fun essence of cookouts---the memory-searing seasoning that lasts long after you've licked your fingers clean. Wonderful Father's Day, birthday, hostess or Holiday gift. Turkey or a prime rib on the grill not only tastes great, it frees up the kitchen and gets the guys involved. This book gets you involved.

Big fat book!

This is an all-around great cook book with nice big pictures, and error free recipes. I've tried several already, and they've all turned out great. I didn't believe I could get good tasting ribs from only 2 hours of cooking, but it really worked.

The only complaint I have is that I was looking for a standard, straightforward bbq book, and for the most part this is just that, however, certain recipes seem to veer off into the "exotic" realm. I'll use Steven Raichlen's BBQ Bible for crazy exotic BBQ.

But I guess I can't really complain. The Kansas City Ribs recipe is excellent, and Weber gives great advice on grilling and grilling techniques. Good thing I own a Weber grill.

A great book to have in your library.

Enter the grilling world from here

Most grill cook books does not have the detail of this book. I learned to grill with this book two month age. It tells me all the details I need to know. Everyone who tasted my food can't believe I can cook such great food. I have to say that I owe it all to this book. I have since tried 10 recipes from this book. All came out great. I did not have any problem following the directions.
If you just start to grill, this is the ONE to get. If you are expreienced this can also be a great reference book.
