Do you enjoy excellent food? If you have a good grill, you need this book. If you don't have a good grill, you need to buy one to go with this book.

The authors concisely cover the basics of selecting and using a grill, how and when to use direct versus indirect heat, and some general guidelines for cooking various foods. Then they get serious. The recipes in this book are clear and easy to follow, even when they take a bit of preparation. Some require some marinade time, but aside from that, preparation and cooking rarely exceeds an hour total. Pictures accompany all the recipes, which help give you some ideas of the final goal and presentation.

But best of all, the recipes range from very good to fantastic. They present beautifully and taste wonderful.

It is almost unnecessary considering the quality and variety of the included recipes, but the book also contains a section of recipes for rubs and marinades, and even a short treatise on balancing their components, to allow the more adventurous cook to create original recipes.

There are a dozen or more recipes in this book that are individually worth the purchase price. You get all of them and all the good advice and teaching for one price.

Although Weber grills publishes the book, their grills are hardly mentioned - this is far from the kind of book that exists merely to plug one product. (Although I hasten to add that my Weber is a gem!) It is an excellent cookbook that happens to use a grill as the preparation method.

Whether you are new to grilling and want to get started right, or are looking for some new ideas after years or decades of good but routine cookouts, this really is the book you want.

Although I own a number of BBQ Recipe Books; Weber's "Real Grilling" has
such a great variety of BBQ recipes, accompanied by 200 color photos of
the final reults. For anyone interesting in expanding their BBQ horizons; this IS the book!

this cookbook is great. my guest always compliment the food i make from it and it is very easy to follow. I bought 1 for myself and now have bought this one as a gift. both from amazon at about 1/2 price.

My wife told me that my grilling got 100 times better after I started using this book.

It has great recepies in it, but it also has some great tips on how to properly grill different foods that helped me the most.

This is a fantastic addition to any new griller(like myself), or even a seasoned griller who wants to add something different to their line up.

(P.S. - I recommend the Honey Mustard Chicken, makes a great change to plain old chicken.)

We love this cookbook. We have tried at leat 15 recipes and have been pleasantly surprised by all. We have never had such a wonderful and reliable cookbook.
