Compared Tested... BBQ Techniques vs. Bible: Illustrated, Cookbook Insight!

We recently delved into How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques, A Barbecue Bible! by Steven Raichlen, eager to refine our skills. The book’s vivid illustrations and detailed methods left us impressed by its depth. Our hands-on experiments with its recommended smoking and grilling techniques have yielded surprisingly consistent results—nom-worthy, even. While we appreciate the technical nuances, some steps felt overly complicated for beginners. The page layouts, while informative, could be slightly more user-friendly for quick reference. Still, the book’s comprehensive approach to BBQ knowledge makes it a valuable resource, balancing theory with practice. For us, it’s a forgiving, engaging guide that’s already earned a spot on our grill side table.
