The Great Barbecue Companion: Mops, Sops, Sauces, and Rubs

This is the only BBQ cookbook I use - I've donated/given away the others. Your friends and family won't want to go anywhere else for BBQ after they've had yours if you use this cookbook - enjoy!

This is an outstanding book chocked full of recipes for Mops, Sops, Sauces and Rubs. If you need recipes or simply ideas for improving your own, this book is for you.

This book is a great resource. Bruce's collection of reciepies will keep you quein' for a long time. All of the receipies will turn out better if you use a Traeger grill.

My copy of this book is looking pretty worn, with stains and notes next to more than a dozen recipes. It is the first book I grab when I'm in the mood to fire up the smoker on a sunny weekend morning. The recipes in the book are outstanding, and cover a wide range of tastes and styles. I especially like the organization of the book, with recipes separated into categories including "Sweet Sauces", "Savory Sauces", and "Flamethrower Sauces". The only warning I have is that after you've tried a few of Bjorkman's sauce recipes, you'll never be able to go back to bottled barbecue sauce again.

Fun read, with great recipes, a thorough but interesting review of the art of barbecue, and a light-hearted reverence for the cuisine. Plan to pig out before you return this one to the cookbook shelf--it's inspirational, too!
