What is Reddit's opinion of How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques, A Barbecue Bible! Cookbook (Steven Raichlen Barbecue Bible Cookbooks)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Ayn Rand and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn are good reads on socialism. The Harry Potter books lays out some solid, practical fascist political theory. This is a good book on centrism

How to Grill - I post it in ever single one of these threads. So much more than a grilling cookbook. Focuses on learning technique rather than following a recipe.

You need to buy this book. I've had it for about ten years and still find it incredibly useful. It's more a collection of techniques than recipes so it is very adaptable.

This'un richere.

It teaches technique more than following recipes. This allows for almost all of the material to be extremely versatile.

I can't recommend this book enough.

How to Grill will not let you down. I've been using it since my parents first got a copy when I was in high school and have found it to be extremely useful and versatile.

Raichlen covers countless cuts of beef, pork, lamb, poultry, fish, shellfish, even fruits and veg. The recipes are more akin to exercises on technique rather than a list of steps to follow. The flavors within range from American BBQ to Moroccan lamb, Vietnamese ribs, Argentinian churrasco and so much more.

This book is a wealth of knowledge. Yes, it is a grilling book, but if you're at least a decent cook you can take his techniques and apply them to a variety of situations.

He tackles and explains many cuts of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and fish/shelfish in a multitude of flavors and culinary styles. There are also massive sections on veggies, rubs and sauces (much more than the 6 or 7 BBQ sauces he includes) It was a staple in my parents' kitchen for years and will continue to be in mine.

The recipe i use is based on the one in How to Grill which is the book i used years ago that taught me so very much about grilling. I highly recommend this book. Mine is falling apart now and covered in sauce fingerprints and grease.

The basic idea behind the recipe is you take the flank steak and make lots of light scores on the meat diagonally, like the lines on lined paper, then turn the meat and do them the other way, then flip the meat and do the other side. Then slice the meat against the grain at a hard angle into thin strips that are nice and wide due to the angle cut. then skewer them.

The marinade is lemongrass, brown sugar, soy, rice vin, fish sauce, oil, cilantro, garlic and ginger.

sear over high heat and then garnish with copped peanuts and cilantro.

there's something else in the marinade but i cant remember.

Please put this in the religious section.

How to Grill is exactly what you're looking for. I've had it for 10 years and continue to find it useful.

How to Grill by Steven Raichlen has a ton of great recipes and techniques.

Good place to start - http://amazingribs.com/

But IMO - Buy this book. and maybe this one. Best sources of BBQ and Grilling recipes I've ever found.

First off, consider buying this simple, inexpensive Texas-style smoker from Wal-Mart. Easy to use, only $90.00, and they'll ship it free to your local store. A very good beginner's bbq pit, IMHO.

Next, get this book by the master of grilling, Steven Raichlan: How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques. It's $13 and an invaluable resource for general grilling and bbq. Just keep in mind that he doesn't specialize in what we in the South think of as bbq, which is specifically low/slow smoking.

For that, get Low & Slow: Master the Art of Barbecue in 5 Easy Lessons, also $13. I haven't read it myself, but it comes highly recommended as a beginner's primer for Southern style bbq.

That comes to about $120, which I think is pretty reasonable to start with. Along with this reddit board, http://thesmokering.com/ is excellent.

I'll try to keep an eye out for your future posts to help when I can. Good luck!

Mine is. I just can't cook on propane.

We got it al Lowes

I got it for that door on the bottom. What you can do is build your charcoal to the side so you can sear and then do indirect heat to finish your food up. Then you can throw some wood on your coals and get a good smoke flavor on your food.

I know I'll lose my man card for this but Here is the book I used to learn how to grill better, but to sum it all up... indirect heat is good.
