A NEW STAR OF BBQ!
 
Review Date: June 22, 2005
Reviewer: Tim Janson, Michigan
Ray begins his book by talking about how all the other books on BBQ all start out talking about types of grills, grill tools, charcoal etc, and he's not going to start out his that way...Bravo! Good for him! Because most of us ALREADY know all about tools and grills. Insteay Lampe really wants to talk technique and taste. As he points out...cook on whatever you have...no one need feel they can't achieve great BBQ without spending hundreds of dollars on a high end grill or BBQ pit. Ray also tosses out the arguement of grilling vs. BBQ right off the bat and it's clear he has a bit of disdain for snooty types who think their way is the ONLY way. Again I say Bravo! It's this no-nonsene approach that really appealed to me about this book. Use what you can, it's all good and it WILL be good if you follow Ray's advice.

I've sampled a handfull of these recipes so far and here are some of my favorites: Smoked Turkey legs...they have a Renaissance Festival here every late Summer in Michigan and my favorite thing to eat is the giant, grilled, smoked turkey legs. I don't even like dark meat normally but these are delicious and with this recipe I can make them at home.

I like the rib recipes but my favorite was the backyard championship Ribs. Perfectly designed no matter what type of grill you are using. Boneless chicken is a staple in our home and the salsa grilled chicken breasts were also a big hit.

This book has quickly moved to the top of my list of favorites!
Great general knowledge BBQ Book

I have been barbequing for several years and have read several really good books on the subject as well as participated in three BBQ on line forums. I have to say, however, that Dr. BBQ's Big-Time Barbeqcue Book is probably the best I have read. It's loaded with lots of "how to" information and loads of really great recipes for everything from excellent rubs and sauces to butts, ribs, chicken, brisket and much more. I highly recommend this book to those who are new to barbecuing as well as those who have some experience. Dr. BBQ (Ray Lampe) has put together a book that is laid out beautifully with lots and lots of great information.

Reviewer: Reader, Chicago
This is one of the most down to earth BBQ cookbooks around .
Ray does not bore you with irrelevant fluff but instead devotes the whole book to simple and easy to follow bbq recipes.
Plus he is a real cook ..not just someone writing about it. This is an excellent book for someone who wants to start cooking authentic bbq as well as experienced bbq cooks who want to experiment with different methods. Highly recommended!
Absolutely THE BEST

Reviewer: William Gronke,
I have been a student of cooking for over 40 years. I have a good collection of cook books. This book is one of the best I have ever bought. The emphasis of course is on BBQ, but what a book. The author is accessible thru E mail. I tease the author that this is the most expensive cookbook that I ever bought, not because of its price, but when people taste the recipes made from it they want to borrow the book. I of course say, "please let me get you a copy." I already have bought five copies. Don't pass this one up if you enjoy big time BBQ.

Ray Lampe has put together an outstanding collection of his own award winning BBQ recipes and family recipes, as well as a few creations from some of his friends on the BBQ circuit. You will find that quite a few of these recipes will become family favorites of your own. Not only does Ray share some of his vast knowledge, but the way he writes conveys his one-of-a-kind personality. That, in itself, is worth the price of admission!!
I recommend Dr. BBQs Big Time Barbecue Cookbook

I recently purchased Dr. BBQs Big Time Barbecue Cookbook. If you are looking a nice book about barbecue, I would recommend you check it out. It would make a nice father's day gift too.

The book contains a lot of common sense barbecue information that enthusiasts and those new to low and slow cooking can use to improve their barbecue ability.

There are tons of recipes and a lot of nice stories and other tid bits to keep your interest.

Mr. Lampe's results on the professional barbecue circuit speak for themselves.
