It's good, but could be better,

This review is from: Competition BBQ Secrets: A Barbecue Instruction Manual for Serious Competitors and Back Yard Cooks Too (Paperback)
I bought this book based largely on the title after searching for select BBQ cook books. I've been cooking BBQ for just a couple of years and am trying to reach the "next level" by refining my recipes and techniques, and looked forward to a better understanding of BBQ competition and the techniques\recipes for preparing all the meat categories. There are four things I found disappointing:
1) The recipes rely on rubs or sauces that are only available through certain commercial sources. 2) There are several rub and sauce recipes, but none are referenced or used in the book. 3) The descriptions of trimming and preparation could be greatly improved with the addition of more photographs. 4) This is a useful book only if you already have experience with BBQ. I also have to agree with one other reviewer that the book cost is about $15 more than it's worth.

This review is from: Competition BBQ Secrets: A Barbecue Instruction Manual for Serious Competitors and Back Yard Cooks Too (Paperback)
I have been cooking BBQ about 4 months now. I bought this book thinking i was going to get some really good inside competition information. I read the 70 pages in a pdf which would be 35 or so in paperback form unless you used really big fonts. There was not one thing in this book that you can't find for free at [...]
, the weber virtual bullet site, food network or in any blogs or message boards in a couple hours time. When i wrote bill to tell him of my discontent his reply was as follows: "Yeah... the info might be available on the internet in only a few places, but there is also a lot of bad information and only partial information. How much time have you wasted online and how many mistakes have you made in your trials? If you really want "all" the details of how I won 4 grands last year, go to [...] - I'm telling you... I leave out no details! Members have already won 2 grands this year, some reserves, and many, many good paying walks. " Thanks, Bill Anderson For all the products we sell, visit [...] Can you believe this guy...i know you paid me for competition secrets that i did NOT deliver on but if you really want to know some...PAY ME MORE MONEY TO WATCH MY VIDEOS!! Absolutly unbelievable the nerve and ego of this guy!!!

The book is more of a paphlet, not a true book. It does give some tips, but not a great value.
