Step away from the propane tank. Surrender all of your notions about barbecue. Forget everything you've ever learned about cooking with charcoal and fire. It is all wrong. Get it right with the "Five Easy Lessons" program, which includes over 130 recipes and step-by-step instructions for setting up and cooking low and slow on a Weber Smokey Mountain, an offset smoker, or a kettle grill.

I can't understand:
those low ratings. I'm a fair barbecue pitmaster, myself, for a backyard hobbyist. I'm constantly looking for ways to improve, though. The criticisms given are all true, but they are not negatives, IMO. First, the author is quite upfront about what the book is all about.

Outstanding Cover to Cover:
An excellent book for beginners and seasoned backyard cooks alike. Gary is absolutely prescriptive in how each lesson is to be executed, and if you are smart enough to have purchased the book, then following his directions will yield excellent results--and you won't be "insulted" by his firm instructions.

Low and Slow, Master the Art of Barbeque in 5 Easy Lessons:

Very well organized and detailed lessons for making great barbeque.
