BBQ Sauces, Rubs and Marinades For Dummies

I have been successfully competing on the BBQ circuit for 18 years. I purchased this book in order to meet the minimum purchase price to get free shipping. Since I received it, I have used it more than the BBQ book that I originally ordered.Don't be fooled by the name. This book will give ideas to anyone from "Dummies" to the seasoned BBQ professional.

I've always been a big fan of the Dummies books. They're written in such a way that an average person can understand the topic. This book is no different.While searching for a book I came across books written by pit masters. I'm sure they're all wonderful books but I don't want to be a pit master and I don't want to go out and buy most of the ingredients that they say are essential. I just wanted to jazz up my BBQ dishes a bit. I doubt that I'll win a BBQ competition if I follow this book but that's fine.The book is well organized and it's an easy read. The author gives very good tips and encourages you to experiment a bit. It's written in the usual casual style as Dummies books with some light humor sprinkled in to keep it interesting.I've tried more than a few of the recipes and I, and my family, thoroughly enjoyed most of them. A few were so-so but it's a matter of taste.For the average backyard BBQer, I recommend this book.

Nothing but high praise for this book. It contains great advice and lots of good recipes. I would purchase this item again and recommend it to friends and family. Great buy at a reasonable price.

I like this book not only does it have GREAT ideas for sauces, etc but also has GREAT info on pits/smokers and info needed about meat and BBQing as a hole....great buy :)

Purchased this for my husband. He enjoys smoking meat...so I thought this would be a great addition to his smoking meat collection. He loves it. He has made several of his own BBQ sauces and Rubs. We have even given them out as gifts at Christmas. He gets lots of compliments on his sauces and his smoked meat.

good book for beginners

Very good information and recipes that you can adapt. I cook but rarely grill/barbecue and found very useful info specially about recipes

The book was in excellent shape, just like brand new! Looking forward to trying sauces for grilling and baking. Very nice.
