Author and Smoke Master Steven Raichlen has written an essential go-to-guide for anyone interested in this niche of cooking. From novice to genius, this book will shed new light on what you need, why you need it and what to do and how to do it. He doesn't bog the reader down with extraneous details. Realizing the goal is to get smoking, he jump- starts you and keeps adding fuel to the fire. Included are recipes that look jaw-dropping but not intimidating. The smoked deviled eggs are to die for. Who'd a thought? The brisket recipe is fool-proof and the hay smoked hamburgers will knock you out. The Tulsa Fatty looks like a one way trip to your local cardiac care unit but hey, just one time can't be that bad. The knowledge he imparts leaves you with the tools and foundation necessary to put your own spin on whatever you choose to smoke. This book could make roadkill taste great. I'm very satisfied with this book and highly recommend it to anyone looking to raise the bar on their smoking technique.Read full review

The contents in the book is great. Lots of great recipes and information. This was my first ebook purchase and I find it very hard to use. Can't figure out how to jump to recipes I want without scrolling forever. It's much easier to have a book I can take to the kitchen and go to quickly.

I bought this book for my husband who just started out using a smoker. We bought it for him as a father's day gift and he was a bit intimidated to use it. Not anymore! This book is amazing and a must have for any level of smoking experience! Full color photos, clear and easy to follow instructions, tips, tricks, a plethora of useful information, and the recipes are AMAZING! The best all you need, all in one book for the grilling/smoker in your life! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’ve read many books in grilling, barbecue, smoking and just about every other method of cooking or preparing meats of all kinds. This, however, just seemed to be more fun to read. There are a great variety of recipes from all over the world that I can try in my own home or backyard. This recent series of books from Master Raichlin even has photographs that further entice the chef to explore paths not trodden before. He has a firm grasp of truly enjoying a good meal. That is important, as eating should be an emotional, as well as a social, event to be shared by all you love. Gotta love it, baby!
