Editorial Review:

It's a marriage made in BBQ heaven: America's foremost grilling guru takes on ribs. Baby backs and spare ribs, short ribs and long ribs, pork ribs, beef ribs, lamb ribs, and more--a passionate, single-subject celebration of meaty, smoky, sweet 'n' spicy, crowd-pleasing, fall-off-the-bone-tender ribs.
A perfect rib is the culmination of the griller's art, and nobody's better at showing how to put it all together--the tastes, techniques, ingredients, recipes, tips--than Steven Raichlen, award-winning author of Barbecue! Bible, How to Grill, Beer-Can Chicken, and other BARBECUE! BIBLE® books with 3 million copies in print. Here are 75 mouth-watering, repertoire-expanding, rib-rocking recipes: Buccaneer Baby Backs with Rumbullion Barbecue Sauce. Lone Star Barrel Staves. Tandoori Ribs. Maui-Style Short Ribs. Jamaican Jerk Ribs. Thai Sweet Chili Ribs. The Original Dinosaur Ribs. Cousin Dave's Chipotle Chocolate Ribs. But the book is also a rib clinic: It covers the nine methods for cooking ribs, from direct grilling to spit-roasting. The essential techniques for handling ribs. Key ingredients in making homemade sauces, mops, and rubs. And boxes throughout to help take your rib cookery to the next level--even to the competition level, with tips on how to enter and how to win.

• Title Promises more than it Delivers
  Evidently Raichlen aludes to another book on ribs and this book does not repreat much of what went before. This book is short on info about Pork spare ribs which I consider to be RIBS. The rest including baby back ribs may be nice, but when I see a book with the title of RIBS, RIBS, RIBS I expect the major portion of the material to cover traditional pork spare ribs. This book covers baby back pork ribs, beef ribs, veal ribs, lamb ribs, fish ribs (bet you would really have a craving for those).

• The Grillmeister
  I have owned a grill for may years, but never really enjoyed grilling because it never turned out that great. I would just throw meat on the grill and then I guess just hope for the best. That changed when I got this book for Christmas. I was so excited about the guidance that this book provided me with, I was grilling ribs on my back deck three weeks later, in 15 degree weather. They turned out to be the best ribs I ever made, maybe even ever tasted. I have made several other recipes from the book since... more info
