Just as bad as his other book I read.  
This one was given to me to read. Just like one I had purchased, this book is also filled with typos and grammar errors.

I would skip this author and pick just about any other book by any other author.

Good info, poor editing  
The author clearly knows and loves his craft. Lots of down-to-earth advice and techniques.

The book would have benefitted immensely from some editing. The organization haphazard, and there are plenty of annoying grammatical errors.

If you think of it as a transcript of a conversation between a couple of friends over a couple of beers, then it's easier for a purist to overlook the flaws.

The content is good enough to overshadow the form in this case.

Smokology the better way to cook  
I have learned so much about this art of cooking from this book. It doesn`t just provide the basic to smoking but also includes recipes. From making your dry rubs to BBQ sauces to perparing the meats, It`s all here. This book will never rest around our house.

It just keeps getting better  
I have had this book for a number of years and have never had a recipe disapoint me. The double smoked pulled pork is a neighborhood hit. We have get togethers throughout the year and it is always requested. I have five books related to smoking meats and this is the book I keep going back too. I have had some questions with a couple of recipes and I have e-mailed the author and he is always there to help me. Think of doing that with some authors and you get nothing. WOW!!
