Can Anyone Recommend good Smoking Books? tips, recipe's etc.

I'll be honest, I've bought several and read none. Everything I've learned is from reading online and experience. I will get round to reading the books one day though... honest

Wicked Good Barbecue is a good book - Some great tips/recipes for comp-style BBQ as well as plenty of inventive ideas for other things you can do - Pigs Ear Terrine or Foie Gras stuffed smoked Meatloaf anybody?

I have a few, my favourites are:
Big bob gibsons bbq book.
Smoke and spice.
The barbecue bible.

Wicked good bbq is good and has lots of inventive recipes. But it's more of a competition book, the recipes have a lot of ingredients and steps. I've not cooked anything from it yet, but I have promised myself I will.

The books have some great recipes in, and also basic guides on getting into smoking if you're a rookie. But spend some time reading the right sites (tvwbb.com, amazingribs.com) and you can learn a huge amount about techniques, methods and recipes without buying any books.

Though I do enjoy the historical bbq information shared in the books.

Hi
Peace love and BBQ is a fantastic book.

Gotta love that answer!!! Tiny strikes again

I got Raichlan's planet barbecue. Really like it. Some great ideas and flavours in there. On the back of that I got the Barbecue Bible and have been a bit disappointed. I'd say that this place isn't too bad for conventional ideas though!
