“Hot and fast cooking-above 350 degrees-counts as grilling and barbecuing is at low temperatures-between 180 and 275 degrees-over a wood fire. “Grilling and barbecuing are all about heat management,” says Susie Bulloch, founder of Hey Grill Hey and The Grill Squad. Certain barbecue books take a deep dive into a certain culinary style, while others provide a broader collection of recipes. Many barbecue books are tailored toward one type of grill, whether it's a pellet smoker, kamado grill, or charcoal kettle grill-so you'll likely want a book that provides techniques you can use with your existing equipment.įinally, think about whether you want to focus on one particular culinary style, such as Korean or Caribbean barbecue, or if you want to try a little bit of everything. You'll also want to consider the type of grill or smoker you own.
On the flip side, novice grillers may be overwhelmed by more advanced books that assume you know basic barbecue techniques.
As you shop for a barbecue book, keep your experience level in mind-if you purchase a book for beginners but have been barbecuing for years, you probably won't get much value from it. Most cookbooks are tailored to a specific audience, whether it's total beginners, experienced pitmasters, or grillers somewhere in the middle. What to Look for in a BBQ Book Experience Level If you're just delving into the world of barbecue, " Real BBQ: The Ultimate Step-By-Step Smoker Cookbook" is a beginner-friendly choice with lots of great recipes. It has more than 100 amazing recipes, as well as valuable insights about all things grilling.
If you only invest in one barbecue book, let it be " Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling" written by Craig "Meathead" Goldwyn.
