A more complete smoke bbq book that others I've seen. Starts with smoker design and includes some diagrams and welding information to get going. It then moves on to wood and smoking issues. Only a small section is actual recipes and it focuses on how to deal with larger cuts to get them ready for a long smoke. (

Aaron Franklin lets his humor, and most importantly his passion, shine through in this book. It was meant to be a "read through and get ideas" kind of book. But it's turned into somewhat of a utility tool. I've read through this a few times now, and the takeaways aren't the recipies. It's the idea that you've got to get you heart into what you are doing. No matter if it's BBQ, welding, carpentry, data mining...whatever you do, you need to do it with passion. Then the work is still work, but it's gratifying. (

Salt and pepper rub, wrap in butcher paper, that's the secret. I am not waiting in line. (

Very detailed instructions on building a smoker, cuts of meat, preparing, and guidelines for smoking. Not really a cookbook. (

"Aaron Franklin gör den bästa barbecue jag någonsin smakat; barbecue värd att köa för. Genom sina ord och handlingar visar han ett sällan skådat engagemang och en sann expertis. Och nu delar han med sig av allt i en bok som man lyckligtvis inte behöver köa för."
