The How To and Bible of Smoking. This is the only book you will ever need to learn the craft.

I cannot say enough about this book. It is not your typical cookbook. It is definitely not your typical bbq book. This book focuses on Smoking. The science of smoking, the technical aspects of smoking, the hobby of smoking, how to smoke, different woods, different grills (yes, even how to use your gas grill as a smoker), and of course tried and true recipes.
This book will introduce your into the world of smoking, for me it was a book that has taken me to a new level of smoking. I am the envy of the block. It is easy to follow. I understand better now why the flavors turn out the way they do, how to repeat good batches and how best to test new ideas. This book focuses on the technology and science behind smoking. This is the how to and bible on smoking. And Chef McPeake proves he is truly the master of his craft.
I would also recommend purchasing the rubs right from his site. That saved me a lot of time of making my own batch, plus his are award winning and tasty. In reference to the other review "Very basic instructions and recipes can be found in Weber, BBQ University or just about any BBQ book." I have not found anything in weber or other BBQ books that address the hobby of smoking like Chef McPeake's book. Also, his recipes are original and tasty and not tested on a grill but through smoking techniques (I have tried many successfully).
So if you want a sure proof no nonsense way of learning about using a smoker or to take your game to a whole new level this book is for you. (I also use it to impress my friends and show up the other smokers I know).

Smoking to a higher level

I have tried two recipes out of this book and I got rave reviews of each. First I made the twice smoked pulled pork for a group of friends and they ate it all and were upset that all was gone. I then made the Hell fire brisket. This was as good or better than the first recipe. I have a "gator pit" smoker and this has taken me and my smoker to a new level. I am new to smoking but this book will WoW my friends.
Just the Do's and Don't section is worth the price. The whole information section at the beginning of the book is a must for anyone interested in improving smoking skills. What a find!

Great info on smoking

Chef McPeake has written a book full of very solid info on smoking and BBQ. He clearly knows his stuff and has the ability to share it with the reader.
His long career as a chef combined with his experience at all the cookoffs in Kansas City is a winning combination.
You'll learn a lot from this book, I don't care who you are.

Excellent book!

Very thorough book. Haven't had much time to really sit down and read it but just from scanning through the book, I saw plenty of useful information. I am looking forward to really getting into it!
