 More of a recipe book than a guide November 14, 2008
I've had this book for a few years now so I have had a chance to follow its recommendations and make many of the recipes in it. I'd give the book a below average score because you will really not learn much about smoking. They don't discuss the myriad of ways one can cook ribs and BBQ and there's an assumption everyone knows how to smoke. As for the recipes, they are average at best. Some are decent and some are absolutely horrible. You're taking a huge chance if you're making some of the recipes for the first time w/ guests coming over. If you doubt my review, just try and make the Golden Mustard Barbecue Sauce recipe on page 350. It's the worst smell that will ever emanate from your kitchen and the taste is HORRIBLE. Just try it and let me know how they ever published such a recipe. My only conclusion is that they never really made it and that probably goes for some other recipes. I've gotten better rib and sauce recipes out of every day cooking magazines. You'll learn more about smoking from free web sites than from this book. It's a nice title though.
 Good Starter Book October 6, 2008
This books covers the fundamentals for anyone wishing to learn how to really barbeque and not just grill. It also has many great recipes, including cooking things you might not normally think about putting in a smoker. Very rarely is there a fancy ingredient, standard kitchen fare but extraordinary food. If you want to learn how to do smoke cooking right, start with this book.
I've had a copy of this book for almost 10 years and I still use it.
Great Book September 28, 2008
My husband really love's this book. He's tried numerous recipe's and enjoyed making them all. I'm loving it as I do not have to cook!!!

Best book on smoking that I have ever seen. At first the title sounded odd but after reading it (not just the recipes) I understood where they were coming from. Always refreshing to find an excellent cookbook that doesn't waste money and space on pictures. Smoke and Spice is the only way to cook!
Great book for a smoker - which is easier than you think July 10, 2008
Fantastic book with great recipes. Covers the basics and gets into some more challenging things as well. Smoking takes a little longer - low and slow - but makes for wonderful, tender meat - you can even smoke burgers. There is a section in the front that discusses different types of smokers and the theory behind it. I read about this book on some smoking websites and agree - it's fantastic.
