Perfect for Beginners

I gave this book to my 19 year old son(off at college) when his Dad gave him his first grill. I was very impressed with the information, especially the way that it took each cut of meat and told step by step how to set up the grill and cook it. Not only how to cook it one way either but several other options depending on what you wanted (ie-smoked, blackened, etc.) It also includes grilling veggies, pizza and other foods. There are recipes using the various forms of grilling included that are set up as whole meals, including sides and items that may not be grilled. I was pleased that the majority of the book was spent on grilling techniques and not mostly recipes with some grilling tips thrown in. I would definitely buy this book as a first grilling book for young people who are just leaving home. It is the perfect companion gift if you are giving a grill as my husband and I did. I also consider it the ideal gift for people of any age that know nothing about grilling (like me!) and would like to learn. It seems that men are the grilling experts in most of the households I am familiar with and the women know little about it. Ladies, if you want to learn and want step by step instructions and not vague sort ofs, then this is the book for you.

Great BBQ Book, Well worth the price.

I'm new to BBQ, but when my wife bought me a Char-griller charcole grille with side fire box, I knew I wanted to learn how to do more than just cook hot dogs and the occasional burger. Googeling BBQ,and Charcole grills, led me to Steve Raichlen's web site where I read enough good information to know I wanted one of his books to start. Other reviews I had read here, helped me decide which of his books I wanted. Great photo's, simple yet interesting instructions,and a dash of background not only take the mystery out of grilling and smoking, but also add color and readability. This is a great book for anyone, noobie or bonafide grill miester, with recipies for both more traditional BBQ, and some real show stopping exotics your friends and neighbors arn't likely to have seen before. Every recipie I've tried so far out of this book (maybe a doz. or so) has been a winner.

GREAT grill book

This book is absolutely fantastic. The illustrations make the preparation easy (you know exactly what it's supposed to look like). The recipes are some of the tastiest dishes I've ever come across. I cannot reccomend this book highly enough.

This is it!

This book is fabulous. It has transformed me from an average cook to a gourmet griller. I now cook entire meals on the grill from recipes out of this book. My wife couldn't be happier and our guests ooh and aah with every bite. Other than the fact that the food tastes great, I love this book due to it's layout. It has very little fluff, just delicious recipes in a format that allows you to easily scan the contents to create a perfect meal. Better yet, the preparation is described in words as well as with excellent step-by-step pictures. I have used this book so many times that the pages are falling out. I have too many favorite recipes to list. I have purchased 2 other BBQ books that were highly rated on this site but they didn't compare to this book. I only wish that the author would publish How to Grill II. I would buy it in an instant!

If you own only one grilling book, this should be it

I have about a half dozen grilling cookbooks. I enjoy them all, and when I'm planning a menu I look through each one. But I find that I end up using the recipes and techniques in this book almost every time.

The recipes are top-notch. They're special without fussiness with delicious results that don't leave you exhausted from cooking. Plus, Raichlen's instructions make you understand the techniques of grilling, rather than feeling like you ought to slavishly follow every step. EVERYthing has pictures, too.

Best of all, this is a very affordable book. You can spend more, but I don't think you'll find anything better.
