Don't read this cookbook while hungry—you’ve been warned.

Meathead's masterpiece is more than a cookbook; it’s a crash course in barbecue brilliance. The amount of information packed into these pages is jaw-dropping. I thought I knew a thing or two about grilling, but turns out I’ve been doing it all wrong—especially when it comes to smoking on my gas grill. Thanks to this book, I’ve got a fresh method to try, and I’m optimistic about finally nailing it.

The recipes? Practical and mouthwatering. The ingredients are easy to find if you’ve got a decent grocery store nearby, and while some of the techniques may sound a little advanced, the step-by-step instructions are clear enough for even a beginner to follow. With a bit of focus, anyone can churn out perfectly grilled chicken or beef. And can we talk about the soups? Including those in a barbecue book was a surprise twist that made my heart (and stomach) extra happy.

This cookbook is both informative and maybe a little too delicious for its own good. It’s like a backyard barbecue bible, with tips and tricks that’ll level up your grilling game. Meathead really knocked it out of the backyard barbecue!!
