It divides itself into sections of sweet, savory (what I would call tangy), "flamethrower" (although they all can be tamed by simply reducing the chile pepper amounts), championship, and rub/paste recipes. The listing of individual recipes in the table of contents is a particularly nice feature.
The most important part of this book is the 17 championship recipes he teased out of the pros. This must have been a difficult task, since most barbecue aficionados are notoriously secretive. I am most appreciative of this, since these recipes are worth their weight in gold.
Although I question some of the recipes, many are worth trying. The chance is very good that you will find something that you will like and keep with you each summer.
