These 100 recipes will enable anyone with a grill to achieve champion barbecue flavor right in their own backyard. The selection features Mills' own secret concoctions and treasured family recipes as well as choice contributions from his pitmaster friends, and it covers all manner of barbecued meat and fish, sauces and dry rubs, as well as the sides, soups, and down-home sweets that complete any great barbecue feast.With its folksy, fun-loving tone and its unique insider's take on a hugely popular--and deeply American--subject, this volume will appeal to barbecue lovers, food mavens, and cooks of all stripes.

 Rating:  - Wow!This is a GREAT book. The stories are as wonderful as the recipes. An absolute MUST read for anyone who likes to cook and eat bbq. Rating: - The best BBQ cookbook aroundI've been disappointed too often by other books from pros, they have recipes that are "based on" an award winning recipe but never will give you the real recipe. This book shares recipes that are the real deal. But it also provides excellent tips on prepping and cooking, and THAT will make you a better cook. There is also a great guide that will help you develop your own signature rub. The recipes are woven between wonderful stories of Mike Mills' childhood, travels and experiences. He is generous ...

The rubs have good balance, the stories are interesting and well written and do not overtake the book. The side recipes, such as his Mom's potato salad, and his own beans are every bit as good as the smoking recipes. No wasted time on grilling. I must have many BBQ and other cook books - this is the dirtiest one - meaning I grab it all the time WHILE I am cooking. Highly recommended. Rating: - I recommend itGood reading and good recipes. Nice job by one of BBQ's true legends. If you can only afford one or two BBQ cookbooks, this should be one of them. Rating: - warning, can cause extreme bbq attacks!I received this book as a gift (from myself!). Mike Mills and Amy Mills Tunnicliffe have written a true american masterpiece. The stories made me both laugh and cry. As other reviewers have noted, the recipes and secrets are worth much more than the purchase price could ever exceed. I know Mr. Mills area, being from central Illinois myself. It didn't take me long to call a few of my "Backyard Pit-Master" buddies and enlist them to enter a bbq competition with me. I can't thank Mike enough for sharing ... Read More
