SMOKOLOGY 101, Jun 22 2005
By Tim Janson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Backyard BBQ: The Art of Smokology (Paperback)
Just so were on the same page, this book is on smoking, as opposed to be purely another book on BBQ. Smoking is a technique that takes time and patience and don't expect to get things perfect the first several tries. McPeake opens the book by discussing different types of smokers. McPeake says bigger is not better. I would also add that more expensive is not necessarily better either as you can achieve great results with an inexpensive water smoker. No smoker? No problem. McPeake also explains how you can use your kettle grill...even your gas grill for smoking and still make great smoked BBQ. It does work well with a gas grill once you get your technique down. McPeake provides a list of different wood types and the tastes they will provide. I love apple wood with chicken, it gives it a great flavor. In additon to the techniques which I consider the most valuable section, there's chapters on meat selection, temperatures, rubs, etc. Fully 1/2 the book is technique oriented before te 2nd half gets into some recipes. Very good, funamental and advanced smoking book.

If you are going to smoke, you must have this book, Nov 5 2006
By dkegs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Backyard BBQ: The Art of Smokology (Paperback)
The recipes are the best, but the insight on smoking techiniques is why you have to have this book. It teaches you so much. From the meals I've made, I've had so many people tell me it's the best meal they've ever eaten. How often does that happen? Because of this book, I know I could win BBQ contests. It's amazing.There's even recipes for sides and learning how to make the smoked bacon & onion baked beans is worth the price of the book. I don't usually write reviews, but this book is so good that I felt compelled to do so. Enjoy.

Finally a book on just Smoking, one of the Best!, Nov 3 2005
By jonathanbbq "jonathanbbq" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Backyard BBQ: The Art of Smokology (Paperback)
Since getting into the bbq world, I have purchased many books on this subject. I can honestly say that this book, since receiving it, is a gem! The whole book is all about smoking, not any stories about himself or grilling. It is truely a book about the art of smoking. He does a great job in breaking down the things to do before you get to the smoker, what happens during the process and how to change or improve your results, and what to do after the process.I have even email the chef and received a respond to one of my questions and in a timely manner.
The book covers all the basic meats of smoking and then touches on the harder to do items, like expensive cuts of meats and the always hard to do seafood. His section on seafood brining and smoking is one of my favorite chapters.
If you are looking for a book that cuts through all the hype and stories about themselves and just focues on the Art, this is the book for you!! It is not a pretty book, but it is a great book for producing some awesome bbq!
