Favorite Books -- What's yours? Part 2

Former Member

So, I get lots of questions like...

"Hey....Smokin...which book should I buy?"

Help me out with this. What do you think?

Check out this link:
Favorite BBQ Books

This is a big list I created of Q books (all of which I do own), but not all of the books out there.

What would you recommend for the following:

Best all-around Smoking Information
Best Beef/Brisket book
Best Poultry (chicken/turkey)
Best Pork (ribs, butt, etc)
Best Specialty (jerky or sausage or fish)
Other

I've got my ideas, just want to see what you all thing of the books you have.

I think that Paul Kirk's "Championship Barbecue Sauces" is the one "must have" book on your list. His comprehensive explanation of spices, rubs, marinades, etc.is very helpful to novices, like myself. I especially like his Resource Guide, listing various companies that sell hard to find spices. Also there is a good diverse selection of recipes in the book. By the way even though it's not a book I'd like to mention Chile Pepper magazine as something that may interest you. They have a Barbecue issue every June. It's filled with recipes & some nice articles & photos about real barbecue. You can find this magazine at any good bookstore (Barnes & Nobles, etc.) If you're interested you may want to hurry out & buy it as last years issue sold out pretty fast.
