Customer Review
I got this book for Christmas after I had several trial and error attempts to use my smoker with just OK results. What a difference this book has made for me. I have always BBQ'd burgers, steaks, chicken and love to cook with my grill, but this book narrows in on smokers and smoking techniques. It has many tips, how-to suggestions and has recipes for rubs, marinades, sops, sauces, and sides, and how and when to use them, different smooking woods, using brine, on and on. Not too wordy, easy to follow, and he explains "why?" a lot, such as "why you should not use too much salt in a rub" (like all the store-bought rubs have). This book breaks down all the variables of smoking and puts them together when you get to the recipes and instructions.
Great book for all experience level smokers. And it absolutely does not matter how fancy/expensive your equipment is. You will learn a lot from the book. I would still be floundering around without it. Although there are more ways to smoke than the author's, and like any cookbook you will adopt your own likings for spice and techniques, especially if cooking outside is fun for you. One example is that I usually allow for a little more time and a lower temperature than he does, "low and slow!"
This book is must for your cooking/BBQ library, even if you don't own a smoker, brousing through this will get you searching on amazon or home depot/lowes for a starter.
The book has info about poultry and fish too, but mostly focuses on beef and pork. Everything that has come from my smoker since I got the book has been fantastic! So far that's brisket, baby back ribs, beef short ribs, beef jerky, and smoked salmon. Just FYI, my set up is simple: smoker box 16"16"x3ft with side and top vents and a gauge, propane burner with valve, wood chip box, water pan, and three stainless racks. Once I get the temp lined out it's usually is rock steady (unless I run out of propane, argghhh, thus the 2nd tank). Amaze yourself and your friends.
Good luck to all smokers!!
Most Useful Book on the Subject of Smoking Food - Daktota Dad - South Dakota
I have read 5 books on the subject matter of smoking food and this is by far the most practical book on the subject matter. I am new to smoking food and was pleased to find true guidelines to use as a reference. Most other books never gave time/temps for various foods which is frustrating for someone new to this. This author is truly experienced and you can trust his advice and he gives specific times for when to add rubs/brines, specific times for smoke cooking. (His advice is not limited to these subjects by any measure, these were major shortcomings of other books that I have read). I learned more reading this book then all the other 4 books on the subject matter combined. I sought books out because I found so much conflicting advice on the internet, this book will remove the confusion while saving your precious $ by not wrecking expensive meats.
Backyard BBQ: The Art of Smokology - B. Hicks - Bakersfield CA
Lots of bbq recipes. Some comments by the author contradict his recipes.
Don't use garlic salt or onion salt and then have a recipe with both in it!
But mostly lots of good stuff. It's up to you to sort out and modify what you want to use in your QUE.
