Summary: If you are only going to buy one book on grilling this is it
Review: This book is a great book about grilling. Easy directions great pictures. Some wild ideas that you would never think of. I made the beer can chicken last night..amazing! Only reason I did not give it five stars was because most of the recipes in the book take very long, sometimes they are a little too over the top for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolute Must Have for anyone that likes to Grill!
Review: I own quite a few quickbooks and I have to say this is my favorite. The best thing about this book (besides the excellent recipes) is all of the photos. A lot of cookbooks are just text with maybe a picture of the finished product. How to Grill show's you step by step how to do it. You'll see exactly how the meat should look after it's prepped, seasoned, etc...

Bust this out at your next cookout and let the adoring reviews from your guests pour in! The best cookbook I own!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The only book where your food looks as good as the picture
Review: This book is the absolute 'have to have'. Don't throw another beast on the grill without it!

Whether you are a seasoned grillmaster or still trying to figure out how come your burgers always taste like hockey pucks BUY THIS BOOK TODAY!

If you follow the simple instructions for marinades and grilling, everything comes out looking and tasting PERFECT. He even tells you EXACTLY how to get the perfect temperature on your grill for both gas and charcoal.

Honestly, stuff comes off the grill looking as good as if not better than the pictures in the book. And taste....Oh My God! The best stuff ever: Beef, Pork, Chicken, Fish. You name it it'll be perfect.

I've been grilling for 15 years and considered myself a good grill guy but this book has elevated me to a whole new level. On a scale of 1 to 10, I've gone from a 5 to a 10 with this book in hand.

Bu this book but be prepared. You may never use your kitchen stove or go out to eat ever again.......

Summary: If You Only Want One Barbecue Book . . . .Buy This!!!
Review: This is the one. The best I have seen, and I have about a dozen outdoor cooking books. These are killer recipes, and the photography is excellent. I've given this as a gift many times, and the recipients are always ecstatic. Some have merely looked through the book at my house and went right out and bought it. Steve is a master, and again the photos make this book a wonder to browze through. And again, it's all about the recipes. YUM!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic book on grilling
Review: My daughter got me this book for Christmas. So far, I have tried 5 different recipies, all surprisingly easy, and all wonderfully delicious. I use a gas grill, and all the things I have tried so far have come out great. The beer can chicken is so easy and tastes so good, I don't think I'll be able to have it any other way. The book is loaded with step by step pictures, making it very easy to follow the recipe. It's brought excitement into my grilling - my goal is to try at least one new recipe from this book every week. This book is a must for anyone who has even a passing interest in outdoor cooking.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good overall but some flaws.
Review: I like this book a lot. It has a lot of information for anyone who is fairly new to grilling the standards like ribs and brisket. However I get the feeling that even though the author says you can do it all on a gas grill - he really isn't a fan of them.

For example alot of the recipes require long cooking times - sometimes up to six hours. Yet he doesn't mention how to tell if you have enought propane in your tank (you pour hot water on it and where it stays cold that is how much propan there is)

And some of the recipies are a little far fetched. The author says he has gone to cooking school in France and certainly a lot of the recipes seem to be influenced by that. But I suspect that most people want to cook ribs, beer can chicken, brisket and the like.

That being said he does include all the above mentioned dishes and has some very good recipes for rubs and sauces.

Although just from reading the book I have a very strong urge to go out and get a smoker!!.

One other side effect of the book - you will get hungry just reading it!!

Happy Grillng.

Summary: Great book on grilling.
Review: This is a great book! Plenty of grilling ideas and lots of pictures to show how the stuff should look when you are finished. I've tried many of the dishes in this book and I've been happy with many of them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The perfect BBQ book for engineers !!!!
Review: My husband and I are both engineers, I am the free-spirited cook and my husband is the perfectionist/ detail-oriented type. BBQing is more of an art but is tradionally the husband's domain so this book is excellent for him! It is very precise and it takes the guess work out of cooking...perfect for the beginner or the seasoned chef. The recipes are great, not too complicated but really delicious and there are lots of pictures (I love cookbooks with lots of pictures) that show you how to prepare things or cut the chicken, etc...I would recommend this book to everyone who enjoys cooking on the grill or anyone remotely interested in trying to cook on the grill- You will love it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fire it up!
Review: I have truely enjoy Steven Raichle's How to Grill. While I have not tried every recipe, those that I have tried have been superb. This book contains numerous tips that I have used to enhance the success of other recipes. Excellent photos and clear and concise instructions help to bring out the grill jockey in all of us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth it for the beer can chicken alone.
Review: This is a terrific cookbook. Even as experienced "grillers" we learned a great deal about technique and how to achieve the best results for even the simplest recipes. We are addicted to the beer can chicken with basic rub. The cookbook is easy to use and recipes are easy to follow - each one is accompanied by photographs. Highly recommended.
