Rating  - great book
I used to eat every meal out. I bought a grill because it is getting so expensive to eat out. I bought this book to teach me how to use it. This book is great. It removes the guess work, for every question I've had the answer is there. One tip, buy the book before you buy the grill because it even covers what to look for in a grill.
Rating - The stuff that dreams are made of
Bought this book shortly after buying our Weber grill. After having a copy checked out of the library for 2 months, decided it was time to buy my own copy. My husband would take it to bed for evening reading, even had me read him a "bedtime story" from it (recipe for baby back ribs). This book is fantastic for those of us (like me) who need help with the grilling basics, but equally wonderful for those who are just looking for recipes. The pictures are wonderful, step-by-step directions on preparing the meat. Lots of great rubs and sauces in the back. Has both a general index and a recipe index.

Steve Raichlen is the King of grilling and in his book "How to Grill", Steve covers everything you need to know about grilling. Written so that even someone who has never grilled can start from purchasing a grill to in-depth tips and techniques that even a backyard grilling warrior can learn from.
The book includes sections on the different types of grills, heat sources and grilling techniques such as smoking, direct and in-direct grilling. It also lists all the tools and accessories that you will need to get started.
Thoughtfully laid out the book's recipe sections is carefully divided into catergories. Contents of book include getting started, beef and veal, pork and sausages, lamb, chicken and more, fish, shellfish, vegetables, desserts, rubs, sauces, and condiments and grills and gear.
This book is not just a cookbook but an entire book of grilling know-how. It's a great addition to any kitchen library.
Rating - Great Book
I bought this as a Father's Day gift, and my dad has grilled out every saturday since! The book kills two birds with one stone with its great cooking techniques and recipes. The pictures are great and very helpful, and the directions are very simple and easy to understand. The food tastes great! Some of the recipes take a good hour or two to prep though, so make sure to read through the whole procedure before starting.
Rating  - Beware 18 inch grill owners! Adapt or die!
This a a great book for creative grill masters. One caveat: if you own an 18 inch weber kettle, be sure to adapt the coal amounts for your smaller grill. Otherwise you will fry your food faster than a hyper-active pyro. The author never bothers to mention how much fuel to use for various sizes of charcoal grills. Not once in the entire book. So, be carefull grill-jockeys and adjust down or up as needed. Otherwise, yum.
