We have purchased MANY barbecue books over the last few months, and had really high hopes for this title based on the reviews. Sadly the book is very much geared to the American Market (and why shouldn't it be - the author is American himself) and I feel does not measure up well to our homegrown barbecue manuals.
There are LOADS of recipes, but I feel that we will only try a few.

My wife and I have had this book for a couple of months now and can thoroughly recommend it. Not only is it packed full of tasty recipes but also amusing anecdotes.
A must for a garden party with friends or summer picnic with the family.
Fantastic book, easy to understand recipes and ingredients are generally in the supermarket. I highly recommend this book, even on cold winter evenings or dinner party events.

Having read several books about the art of building wood fired ovens, I bought this one having read several reviews that gave it a real positive view. However, I was quickly disappointed by a book that is full of history and detail about ovens used in large houses of bygone ages and the detail behind the history through the ages. There is very little real detail that anyone looking to build an oven could really utilise.
It makes for interesting background reading but the detail for building is extracted from the view of how some of the old commercial/large houses built their ovens and hence is of limited scope. The detail about the build is not there if you want to construct something yourself.
