Best of the Best	Customer Rating:
Best book on smoking that I have ever seen. At first the title sounded odd but after reading it (not just the recipes) I understood where they were coming from. Always refreshing to find an excellent cookbook that doesn't waste money and space on pictures. Smoke and Spice is the only way to cook!

Great book for a smoker - which is easier than you think	Customer Rating:
Fantastic book with great recipes. Covers the basics and gets into some more challenging things as well. Smoking takes a little longer - low and slow - but makes for wonderful, tender meat - you can even smoke burgers. There is a section in the front that discusses different types of smokers and the theory behind it. I read about this book on some smoking websites and agree - it's fantastic.

A complete book	Customer Rating:
This book was recommended by a friend who caters pig roasts professionally and it is everything he said - full of great recipes. Whether you want ribs or pulled pork, brisket or sides, this cookbook has it all.

Good overall intro to low temp "smoke" grilling

Customer Rating:

This is a nice fattish book that provides plenty of recipes. The book doesn't pretend to be "gourmet" but rather provides exactly what the cover suggests: Good ol' American BBQ. Recommended as a first book for anyone that wants to try their hand at smoking/slow [charcoal] cooking/grilling. The instructions and text are good and clear throughout. I hesitated to give the book 5 stars but decided that I reserve the 5 star ratings for truly exceptional books. In this case for instance, one thing I would have liked to see are more pictures/photos....

YUMMY	Customer Rating:
Try the "Mister Brown" and serve with the yellow mustard sauce. It will make you famous.
