How Many Barbecue Books Do You Own?

[Kloset BBQR]

My wife thinks that I have a problem buying BBQ books. I have over 30.
How many do you own. This will either confirm I have a problem or just a passion for learning the history and techniques of good Q.

Have another one on the way (Jack Daniels).

4 here, but I do have a few other general cookbooks with bbq in them..

 

[Nick Prochilo]

4 in total. I think you might have a problem

 

[Bruce B]

Five, and for those of you in Crystal Lake, IL who can't read, that's 5, and 3 grilling books.

Well, yeah! But, it's not the 4 books!!

 

[Kloset BBQR]

Sue glad to hear that. For a minute I thought my wife might have a point!

So far (in no particular order) my favorite BBQ books are:

BBQ USA
BBQ Bible
How To Grill
Legends of Texas BBQ
Paul Kirks Competition BBQ
Smoke & Spice
Dinosaur BBQ
Thrill of The Grill
North Carolina Barbecue: Flavored by Time
Let the Flames Begin: Tips, Techniques, and Recipes for Real Live Fire Cooking

As you can probably tell I am slightly prefer grilling over smoking but only slightly. Something about cooking over a live fire that I partcularly enjoy!

Gasser, eh? I like the convenience too.

 

[Kloset BBQR]

We have a gasser. But I actually prefer charcoal grilling. I use the gas mainly in the winter. Helps melt the snow too.

Oh, well, when you said "live fire", I assumed ... :roll:

 

[Kloset BBQR]

Bill you've never seen my flare ups! Now thats a live fire! Gives a whole new meaning to the Thrill Of The Grill!

LOL! I see one every 5 seconds when I'm looking at one of your posts.

Now come on Bill. Every 5 seconds? That would be more like Woodman's speed. I don't hold a candle to him, the most prolific poster in the history of Q boards. I'm still struggling to get rid of Rube status! LOL! What's the magic number until I get to the next level? 50 or 100?

Kloset, I've only got three! I've only read one! Hey, I'm thinkin that we do our first dry run Friday 06/03- Saturday 06/04 at SmokeStock and let the attendees serve as judges! It'll be at Greg's house so it'll be a natural. What do ya think? Uncle Bubba?
