Hi

Whilst I know that the internet is the best resource for info I do like to sit out of an evening (when its warmer) with a Nescafe Irish latte and a touch (dollop) of whisky, that reminds me I have to go to ASDA, doggy veg!! with a book and muse and dream of what my food should be like. Now having scoured loads of forums here and over the pond I have come up with a list of books and I want them all. But looking for the sage among you as to which are the 3 you would buy and keep close at hand? And those you wouldn't bother with and any others I should be looking at?????

1. Franklin BBQ
2. Big Bob Gibsons BBQ
3. Smoke and Spice
4. Serious BBQ
5. Smokin Meat - Jeff Phillips
6. Low and slow
7. Pit Cue
8. Peace Love and BBQ
9. Myron Mixons books
10. Legends of Texas BBQ
11. Slow Fire
12. Paul Kirks Championship BBQ
13. Holy Smoke
14. The Great BBQ companion

Franlins BBQ is a great book, as are Pitt Cue for a more recipe oriented read. BBQ Crossroads by Robb Walsh is another very good book, although not on your list.

No worries! TMBBQ is a good read also if you're looking for stuff on the internet.

Amazingribs.com is an excellent resource. I started with a lot of the recipes and modified them and I've received glowing feedback.

I received the Franklin BBQ on release day and read it in one sitting. A great book which tells a story, which struck a chord with me, plus excellent information on smoker construction, wood, meats, plus beer. I'm looking forward to trying out Aaron Franklin's Espresso barbecue sauce.

Thanks a lot for the input.

I think the Franklin's is the one to go for. In Fact I think my top 4 should be on the money, :D
