Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A "must have" BBQ book Comment: Chocked full of "how to" information and recipes. On my initial read through the book, I thought Mr. Kirk's ego came across as slightly inflated. However, knowing of his accomplishments in the BBQ world and after tasting some of his recipes, I have added this to my "must have" list of BBQ books that I recommend to my friends. As the old saying goes, "It ain't braggin' if it's true" and, in Paul Kirk's case, he has proven it ain't braggin'. Customer Rating: Summary: Learn BBQ from a master Comment: Paul Kirk's bona fides as a BBQ expert are irrefutable. I have been cooking real slow cooked, smoked BBQ in an offset charcoal smoker (Bar-B-Chef) for five years now. One of my favorite books has been Kirk's Championship Barbecue Sauces. With this book he shares his knowledge on all aspects of preparing winning competition 'Q. Even if you don't plan to compete prize winning ribs or pulled pork is going to be fantastic BBQ. Kirk writes well and the recipes are mostly easy to follow. There's no way anyone but a professional chef will ever prepare them all but what I have prepared has all been very good. This book joins the Jamisons Smoke and Spice as a book that needs to be on the shelf of anyone interested in preparing the best authentic BBQ. Customer Rating: Summary: PAUL KIRK IS THE MASTER OF OUTDOOR COOKING! Comment: Paul Kirk shares secrets that other books skip over. He gives reasoning behind techniques as well as temperatures and times for every meat you ever wanted to cook outdoors. He starts from the beginning (choosing a butcher)and covers all the steps from meat preparation and safety to controlling temperatures. I have several outdoor cooking books. This one is the best. Customer Rating: Summary: Every Grill/BBQ guy should own this book!!! Comment: 1st of all, this guy has won 400 awards! 2nd, this book is packed with tons of recipes for anything you can grill or BBQ. 3rd tons of techniques, rubs, marinades, special home-made ketchups, mustards slathers. Finally, the detail in this book is outstanding! Many BBQ/grilling books have great recipes, but don't give enough HOW-TO details that give you the delicious final product. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Recipes, Good Instruction Comment: I'd rate this as a great recipe book, and a good but not great BBQ instruction book. The author is not shy about telling you how good he is and he wants you to be just as proficient at cooking up great food. The book's recipes cover all kinds of meats, including beef, pork, lamb, chicken and even goat, plus there was a chapter on fish, an unexpected bonus. Whole sections are dedicated to rubs, mops, sauces, and all other manner of BBQ flavorings. The author includes some helpful information for hot grilling foods as well, because its not every day you can spend 16 hours smoking a brisket or 6 hours slow cooking spare ribs. The only drawback to this book in my eyes is that its explanation of cooking techniques are adequate but not great. A few pictures or diagrams might have helped, as I found myself puzzled trying to figure out a few of his explanations for specific methods. Overall, however, I'm glad I bought this book and look forward to using it for years to come. More Reviews
