Summary: Lots of info, but recipe layout could be improved
Comment: "BBQ U.S.A." is an interesting book, no question about it. It offers a lot of information on all aspects of BBQ'ing, smoking and grilling, and is chock full of historical tidbits, helpful hints and anecdotes. Where the book suffers is in the layout of the recipes. These are divided into categories such as birds, pork, beef etc. However, the recipe pages are so loaded with sidebars, photographs of various BBQ masters and anecdotal stories that it becomes more difficult than it should be to flip through a section to find a recipe you're looking for, or to compare recipes within a section. A less-cluttered recipe area would have been helpful, or at least a recipe index at the beginning of every chapter so one could quickly locate a recipe.
Still, if you're willing to overlook that, the book does offer a ton of helpful info and would certainly help improve any chef's BBQ skills.

Summary: How do you top The BBQ Bible?
Comment: Just write BBQ USA! Raichlen traveled the WORLD in search of BBQ recipes (over 500!) in The Barbecue Bible. I graduated from burgers, steaks and grilled chicken breasts to Tandoori Chicken, Thai, and how to grill a whole fish ifrom the 556 pages!
So, again, how do you top the definitive work on open fire cooking? BBQ USA! 774 PAGES of over 425 recipes from all over the US, INCLUDING THE comprehensive history of BBQ in the US thanks to KC Masterpiece originator, Dr. Rich Davis. There are pages and pages of biographical info on BBQ icons and institutions in the United States and even one recipe from Canada! And more pictures.
I personally feel that even as a novice, you actually could pick up this huge volume and begin almost anywhere, any recipe and be successful. The book covers the basics in the beginning chapter. Choosing and using grills and accessories and even includes basic and more advanced techniques to grilling. You'll probably see someone disagree with that statement. I defy the naysayers to name a better bbq book WRITER. Raichlen may not be in front of PBS, or Food network cameras as much as Hirsch, Flay, et al. Steven Raichlen just writes the most comprehensive books on BBQ anywhere!
I must also mention a trend I've noticed in some other cookbook writers (some very well known) that are releasing cookbooks that rearrange recipes from their previous books and call them new and sell them based on their well known names. I looked through the indexes of BBQ Bible and compared it to BBQ USA. There are no or none that I could find repeats that appear in both books.
One other thing we as Americans can be proud of is our BBQ!
God Bless our Troops
I enjoyed this book, not only for the great food recipes but the great stories and history presented. If I were stuck on a deserted island with just my Weber and Raichlen's books on BBQ, I wouldn't want to be rescued.
