Great book for the "Grilling Fans"! 
Really nice book with lots of good ideas for the serious grillmasters out there! Good recipes, good information on the actual art of grilling.... direct, indirect and much more. I will be exploring this art of grilling with all my new tools, accessories and knowledge that I've gained from this book and a few others. It's definitely a book for your cook book collection.

Excellent recipes and cooking techniques
I bought my husband this a year after I got him a full size Weber charcoal grill. He was struggling to get chicken cooked inside without a black/ burnt outside, and this book provided exact charcoal arrangement technique and food positioning he needed to have it come out perfect. He loves all the recipes and exact directions for achieving perfectly grilled meats and vegetables. Excellent value, and a great gift.

Great book for the charcoal lover
I have all of the other weber grill books and I find this one even better. I really liked the begining of the book with the discussion of different types of charcoal and what to expect from them. It really is a grilling 101 course. I also loved the parts were they detail cooking right on or right next to the coals. Never used this technic and adds a great favor.
