Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great collection of recipes with insights on regional styles
Review: Fun read, with great recipes, a thorough but interesting review of the art of barbecue, and a light-hearted reverence for the cuisine. Plan to pig out before you return this one to the cookbook shelf--it's inspirational, too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A terrific book for anyone interested in barbecue
Review: My copy of this book is looking pretty worn, with stains and notes next to more than a dozen recipes. It is the first book I grab when I'm in the mood to fire up the smoker on a sunny weekend morning. The recipes in the book are outstanding, and cover a wide range of tastes and styles. I especially like the organization of the book, with recipes separated into categories including "Sweet Sauces", "Savory Sauces", and "Flamethrower Sauces". The only warning I have is that after you've tried a few of Bjorkman's sauce recipes, you'll never be able to go back to bottled barbecue sauce again.

Summary: A Good BBQ Sauce Cookbook
Review: This collection of 128 mops, sops, sauces, and rubs is very good, but not great.

It divides itself into sections of sweet, savory (what I would call tangy), "flamethrower" (although they all can be tamed by simply reducing the chile pepper amounts), championship, and rub/paste recipes. The listing of individual recipes in the table of contents is a particularly nice feature.

The most important part of this book is the 17 championship recipes he teased out of the pros. This must have been a difficult task, since most barbecue aficionados are notoriously secretive. I am most appreciative of this, since these recipes are worth their weight in gold.

Although I question some of the recipes, many are worth trying. The chance is very good that you will find something that you will like and keep with you each summer.
