Fantastic combination of BBQ history, culture and recipes
I can’t speak highly enough about the book content & the writing. Robb did a great job of allowing the culture of Texas barbecue to come through.

Loved it
I’m a Texan living in CA and it made me homesick. Beautifully designed and well written. Many BBQ books are full of impossible recipes but this book seems mangeable.

Pure BBQ spirit
Years ago I visited Texas and learned learned how delicious BBQ is.
Unfortunately there are no BBQ restaurants in Germany, so I have to cook the food for myself…

Fun history
I enjoyed the history as much as the recipes, although the recipes are good. Lots of cool pictures and a real flavor of downhome BBQ.

Great Book On Texas BBQ
This is a great book on Texas BBQ. The sauces and recipes are very similar to the food I ate in central Texas growing up.

Texas Best Barbecue
I have several barbeque cookbooks, and have spent considerable time perfecting the coking method. This is by far the best book I have acquired on the subject.

I like this so well that I forgot I ordered it, and bought it at the local store…. well, I won’t have trouble finding someone who wants a copy.

Finally – recipes sized for a real BBQ.
You’ve got to love a cookbook that has a recipe in it that starts with” Dig a pit 4 feet wide, 6 feet deep and 25 feet long.
