Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book after having watched Dr.BBQ and many others compete in the National Kingsford BBQ cookoff thingy on realityish TV last year. I have always enjoyed smoked meats, and like to BBQ but never knew really how to pit BBQ etc. I bought the book and decided to rub, broil, smoke, and bbq 2 full racks of pork ribs this past august for my family and friends. I found the directions easy to follow, and the recipes simple and tasted great! People accused me of using store bought sauce! There is a basic explanation of pit BBQ in the book, if you want to really learn in depth another book is advised. After the great results aided by this book, I will be buying my first smoker grill this spring.Book Review: Delicious and easy to make recipes
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent cook book on American barbequeing and the recipes I have made have been easy to make and delicious.I have been a bit dubious about some of the recipes after I have read the ingredients list but every time the recipes have turned out better than expected but exactly how the author Ray Lampe described.For instance I made the creamy coleslaw and it didn't sound like it would be that good but it was easy to make and the best coleslaw I have tasted.By contrast I have made a coleslaw from 'The Best Recipe cook book American Classics'and this has had a long description and went into great detail about every stage of making the coleslaw but the end result has been very disappointing.The book also contains little anecdotes about each recipe and the world of competition barbequeing and this all adds to the book.Overall this is an excellent book and I will be buying the rest of Ray Lampe's cook books. Book Review: The Dr. is in
Summary: 4 Stars
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. BBQ at the Arkansas Literary Festival a couple of years ago. I bought his book then, and recently purchased another for my son.
Unlike most cookbooks, this one isn't just recipes and clinical information about the ingredients and preparation methods. Dr. BBQ includes stories about the people behind the recipes, as well as his own philosophy about weighty questions such as: Gas, charcoal, wood or pellets? Charcoal? Well then, chunk or briquette?
And to the people who insist that using gas isn't the way to prepare REAL bbq or charcoal isn't and so on, the Dr. suggests that unless they are going out naked and killing an animal with a stick before cooking it then THEY aren't really preparing bbq the traditional way either.
Good fun, good food, good guy. The recipes are easy to follow and produce great Q, but I must admit, I use this book for inspiration much more than for the recipes.
Book Review: Good cooking

Ray knows his stuff and can clearly express it. This ought to be your first reference when you're setting the menu.
