LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
I love this book so much. I checked it out from the library 5 times and am now ordering it finally. The beer can chicken is the best in there. I have tried a couple recipes and love them all. Great source for those of us wondering how exactly to do something on the grill-very informative!

Terrific for the Novice or Expert!!!
This book has everything from temperature control and technique to rub and sauce recipes.It covers all the bases from porterhouse to leg of lamb to veggies to tofu, even pizza!!!I have purchased this for myself, as well as for gifts for experienced grillers and beginners.They all love it!It also takes into consideration both charcoal and gas grills.One of the best grill books I have found.

A GREAT BARBECUE BOOK.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES MY HUSBAND AND I RUINED MEAT AND VEGETABLES. WE ALWAYS HAD THE HEAT TOO HIGH OR LEFT THINGS ON THE GRILL FOR TOO LONG MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS COOKED THOROUGHLY. I EVEN SENT AWAY FOR THE THERMOMETER THAT YOU COULD GET PAYING FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING ONLY. I RECEIVED THE THERMOMETER PRETTY QUICK TOO AND IT WORKS GREAT. I HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE THINKING OF BUYING ONE. ... Read more

More than just a cookbook
I bought this book mostly for the recipes.It is full of the "philosophy according to Ted" (which I love by the way).The book may leave you wanting more if all you want is a wild game cookbook.I do have to say that the recipes are excellent.My kids beg for the Deer Stroganoff.It is also one of my all-time favorite dishes to eat with the deer that I harvest.I have tried several recipes from the book and all were accurate and very tasty.Thanks to Uncle Ted for creating more than a cookbook - I read from it while I am cooking.

Reading This Book is a Meal in Itself
I don't hunt and haven't yet prepared big game dishes, but I'm always on the lookout for new recipes with which to expand my repertoire.This book made me resolve to take up cooking big game.
A Man'sCookbook
As my husband loves to hunt wild boar and wild duck, I bought this book for him as a farce.However, it has turned out to be a great purchase. We both were at a loss as how to clean, store and cook wild game until "Kill It and Grill It" came along.This is the only cookbook I've bought that my husband hasn't complained about and it's an entertaining and "colorful" read as well. ...

Backyard smoker
Read and utilized the Turkey smoking recipe and it was awesome.
I'm Smokin'!
My first and second recipes came out great! I can't wait to try my third, a full brisket.

Dissapointing Book

Wow!!
This is the only barbecue series of books that are not more of the same.

From a weekend barbecue warrior
Let me first say that I love barbecuing, and I guess you do, or you wouldn't even be checking this or any other barbecue book. I try to grill my family dinners almost every weekend, so I would have to say that I have put on thousands of barbecues this far. I consider this book great because with the recipes on it I can try every now and then to make something a little bit different (I guess just to avoid a mutiny among my family crew, Ja Ja).
Great!
This book offers great recipees for sauces, butters, glazes, oils, and more.The recipees include ingredients that you have around the house.I look forward to trying more of them out!This is a great purchase for anyone who enjoys barbeque. ... Read more

You Can Grill It All
Great book!! Not only are there over 400 great grilling recipes but recipes for rubs, sauces, and more. The writer also shares some historical information throughout the book making it a great read. Steve Raichlen's PBS show is the companion to this book, as many of the recipes are in there. Considering the price at Amazon this book is a lot of bang for the buck.

Heat up the grill!
We absolutely love this book.It not only has great recipes but step by step directions.We also watch the BBQU on tv.If you like to grill and want to cook something other than the same 'ol same 'ol, we recommend!!

The perfect sandwich!
Jo McAuley's PANINIsurveys the grilled Italian sandwich which is becoming so popular in bistros and delis in North America. You'd think panini sounds too exotic to produce at home, but quite the opposite: McAuley demonstrates it's the perfect sanwich for producing in a home kitchen and packs her cookbook with recipes for vegetarian, meat, and even dessert sandwiches to prove it. Color photos face nearly every page and encourage cooks to sample.

1 for 1 - so far it's been great
I'm by far an inexperienced amateur chef...I tried one recipe so far: Salmon filets w/ pepper relish & anchovie vinaigrette. It took me two hours to prepare a 1/2 hour meal but the end result was great. I'm looking forward to my next conquest. Give this book a shot. Happy Grilling!

Good but misleading!
I liked the book but was surprised by the amount of fat in some of the recipes. Although I believe grilling is healthier than pan cooking or frying, I was surprised by the amount of recipes that had nothing to do with grilling. From salads to desserts. I was hoping for more on grilled desserts that are light and fresh off the grill. Liked the book, but was disappointing in many of the recipes and the fat count on alot of the recipes are high!

Everytime I've used the book,the 3 factors of recipe, time and temperature have always produced a delicious product.

Good Grilling Cookbook
This is a handy guide for anyone looking to find new recipes for your gas grill. I love cooking on the grill, and this book provided some interesting varaitions on some old favorites. Not every recipe was 5 star, but none were terrible. I am certain there is something for everyone.

Easy, quick and great tasting food
I became interested in this book after watching the TV show BBQ Bootcamp on the Food Network (try to watch that show if you can, it will help you understand the logic behind the recipes). Now that I have the book and have tried some of the unusual easy recipes I am more pleased than ever. The Beer Can Chicken alone may be the best chicken I've ever had. It's extra juicy and a little spicier than I would have expected but VERY GOOD.

It ok but get the Bigger version
This book is perfect as a gift for the griller in the family. But the I bought How To Grill by the same guy. A much better buy, more diverse recipes, awsome photos showing you step by step.... ... Read more

Ribtastic
This book is great, I had grilled some ribs before, but never to this extent or variety.So far I've tried a number of recipes from the book and not been disappointed once, whether it be baby back, beef short or spare ribs.If you want a book to give you not only recipes but also a tutorial on how to cook your rib of choice then look no further, in fact whatever you want for rib-grilling tips look no further - buy now.

The Grill Sergeant Strikes Again
This is another great grilling how-to book from the "Grill Sergeant" and it covers all of the bases.From basic ribs to more exotic recipes, Raichlin thoroughly covers preparation, smoking, grilling and basting (mopping) many varieties of ribs.Of course, he also includes recipes for rubs, marinades, mopping and finishing sauces.Easy to read and follow step-by-step directions.

Texas Best Barbecue
I have several barbeque cookbooks, and have spent considerable time perfecting thecoking method.This is by far the best book I have acquired on the subject.Highly recommend it to novice and pro.

Wonderful
I like this so well that I forgot I ordered it, and bought it at the local store.... well, I won't have trouble finding someone who wants a copy. A wonderful, fun book.
Finally - recipes sized for a real BBQ.
You've got to love a cookbook that has a recipe in it that starts with" Dig a pit 4 feet wide, 6 feet deep and 25 feet long." Easily one of the most entertaining cookbooks I own. The mix of history and regional recipes make this a must have for true "Q" types. If you own a smoker, get this book. ... Read more

Grass BBQ'ing taken to the next level!
I was always good at BBQ'ing with the Gas Grill, but i ran out of ideas on what to do next. This book is amazing, it opened up a whole new BBQ world to me, and encouraged me to experiment more. There isnt one recipie i tried that i didnt like. My personal favorite is the Briskett!

Excellent Grilling made easy
In addition to great recipes, this book also provides great grilling techniques for the novice and intermediate griller. Following the cooking instructions will always produce well seared, super moist chicken, fish and meats.

Takes your grilling game to a new level
I thought I knew how to grill well and always got good compliments, but I have learned from this book and it has kicked my grilling up a notch.For example, I've learned to grill my steaks at hotter temperatures for shorter times to produce an outside with a little crust and the middle the way I like it.This is a great book for either gas or charcoal grillers.
Weber's Real Grilling
I purchased this book for my brother's birthday as a companion book to Weber's Art of the Grill.Unbeknownst to me, he was a bit gunshy behind the grill and not at all confident BBQing.I was there for my nephew's birthday and happened to chat with his in-laws who were bragging about how wonderful his newly aquired BBQ was now perfectly paired with his newly aquired skills and recipes thanks to Weber's Real Grilling.He had used a new recipes every day for the 4 days prior to the birthday party and his in-laws were completely thrilled by his newly discovered skills and recipes...he had received an enthusiastic thumbs up at every meal!

great cooking
This cookbook is great. It is easy to follow and produces excellent results.

Editorial Review

There's a world of grilled food out there, and Steven Raichlen seems to have wandered through all of it the State Department deemed "safe." No Afghanistan, for instance. No Iraq. But not to worry. Any decent conflict produces refugees, and nothing travels quite so easily as your own way with food. So Raichlen availed himself of restaurant cooks in this country where and when he had to--all to get right down to the meat of it.Read more

For browsing and cooking
For me, cookbooks have two functions. The first is to act as a spur to the imagination. A properly provocative cookbook would be one you could browse through with the same pleasure that you might take in reading an adventure novel. You get to have the excitement without the danger (or the calories). As an added benefit, you increase the store of ideas from which you put together your own cooking. Seen in this light, a book that offers
Barbec ue with Steve Raichlen
This book provides an in depth process for barbecuing in the great outdoors.Steve Raichlen gives you the how to's and a history of barbecuing throughout the world.He uses a classic presentation to discuss the many fine receipes.He also goes into a brief summary of the history of each of the fine dishes.I would highly recommend this book

Not quite what I was looking for
I was looking for a book about BBQ and grilling. What I got was a book of recipes. Not all that bad of a thing, but was looking for more wisdom from the apparent king of BBQ. While gas grilling is pretty straight forward for most cooks, I recently purchased a charcoal smoker/grill and sought info on this whole new area of backyard cuisine.

Lobel's Guide to Meat
This is a goldmine for explaining the intricacies of meat Such a unique grilling book
The Lobels' have introduced a very nice and unique cookbook with the release of this one.I own several other grilling cookbooks, and there are many good ones out there.This one is my absolute favorite because therecipes are a little more than your basic grilled steak or hamburger. Trythe grilled filet mignon with gorgonzola-scallion compound butter and thesirloin steak with rosemary brushed potatoes and red peppers.Don't forgetto try the barbeque sauce.It's fantastic.The book's contents includetips on grilling, burgers, beef and veal, lamb and pork, poultry, game andgame birds, and sauces, salsas, maranades, rubs and other condiments. There are no fish recipes so if you are looking for that specifically, findanother cookbook.If everything else sounds good to you, you will enjoythis inovative book by the Lobels'.

This book is the best source for grilling meat.
Finally!A book that really tells us everything we need and want to know about grilling meat. As author of 3 cookbooks on grilling, including "Marinades, the Secret of Great Grilling", I can tell you that Iam buying this book for everyone I know who grills meat - and that is justabout everyone I know. It's so well organized that I can find informationat a glance.The recipes are readable, do-able, and taste terrific. ... Read more

He's outdone himself this time
Paul has outdone himself this time.This is the best BBQ "how to" in print.

Great book for those who like BBQ.
I love to cook, especially out in my backyard with the smoker.If this is you, then you will want this book. It has a plethora of recipes that will make you the envy of your neighborhood.It also explains the differences in slow smoking and grilling. You cannot go wrong in buying this book!!!

Great Barbecue Education
I bought this book under unusual circumstances.The day before I bought it, I complained to my sister I have way more recipes from cook books and newspaper clippings that I could ever possibly make.And I'm trying to eliminate more meat from my diet.So with a glut of recipes and a desire to eat less meat, it would only make sense for me to buy a book with 575 recipies devoted to grilling and slow smoking of dead animals.But I'm really glad I did!

great recipes and fun to read!
This is my son's favorite tv chef;I bought this for him for his birthday, and right away made several recipes, that all worked perfectly (often they do not!)The flavors were interesting and the directions clear and helpful.The desserts are fabulous too, especially the ice cream sundae frozen pie;I've already made it twice.The cookbook is a fun read and the recipes delicious!My family loves grilled food and bobby flay just makes it more interesting with his combination of flavors and unusual food pairings.

Awesome grilling
Bobby Flay has great recipes, ideas and techniques for grilling.This book is great and will take a long time to use them all.

Not-easy grilling
I am a huge Bobby Flay fan, and this book turns out some great recipes, but they are very time consuming, difficult recipes.If you want to turn out some high-end barbecue dishes, this book is for you.Be prepared to put in some serious prep time though. ... Read more

My husband has wanted the cook book for a while.I don't know why it took me so long to get it...if it gets your husband excited to be cooking, it is so worth it!:)

Guy meals on the grill
This sturdy paperboard cookbook, presented by Men's Health magazine, is geared for guys who are novices at cooking and looking for easy meals to prepare on the grill. These 50 recipes, each of which is enhanced with ingredients out of cans, include beef, chicken, fish, pizza, pork, Spam, turkey, and veggies. Among the recipes are beer-can chicken, red-hot ribs, Dr Pepper-glazed ham, teriyaki turkey, and spuds on a stick. The secret is the can!
Let's face it, we all love being a little creative in the kitchen or around the grill every now and then. Who would have thought ordinary canned cola or beer would add great taste to the best meats on the grill? Mix a budweiser with worcestershire sauce, grilling mix, and a small jar of chopped jalapenos and you have a wild barbecue mix making you believe you may be out in the Caribbeans. Or a can of sloppy joe barbecue sauce mixed with jalapenos. There are recipes a plenty guaranteed to fire up your taste buds.Read more

Very Easy reading good recipes from rubs, sauces to sides.Everyone will find something to take away from this one. Good idea on the notes pages to write in favorites and modifications.
