Stunning book.

What a beautiful book! Fantastic INFORMATIVE anecdotes about the trial & error we all will face on this journey smoking. Heavy on technique. You will learn WHY and HOW a brisket ends up incredibly delicious, not just a list of ingredients. This is a deep dive. remember also this is CENTRAL TEXAS BBQ so not really sauce based but there are a couple good recipes. The mock Carolina one is great.

Book itself is large w/ beautiful embossed cover and vibrant color pictures within. Will have for a long time.Read full review

Great book!

This book is detailed and specific. It lays out what Aaron Franklin had done to build a world class BBQ business. I have been a follower of his career for some time and found the comments "he's holding back something, no one tells all their secrets" to be completely answered by Aaron as "it's all there - but 99% of people just won't take the time or care enough" to replicate his methods and success. Get the book, DO IT, and it will work for you.Read full review

If you like BBQ, you need this book!

I have been a fan of Aaron since watching the tv show, and numerous YouTube clips and articles. This book gives his whole history, and everything you need to know to become a successful backyard pitmaster. Well written, unlike most cook books this one is very entertaining and enjoyable to read cover to cover.Read full review
