Summary: Good recipes, but close-minded attitude
Comment: I highly recommend this book for the recipes, but I was very turned off by the "open grill only" attitude of the authors. The authors believe in charcoal or other open flame methods only, and thumb their nose at Weber-style grills which employ the cover of the grill in cooking.
This in itself was not terrible, but the authors made a feeble, almost cynical attempt at "also providing" covered cooking methods and times, and it appears as if they went off of a chart as opposed to actually doing it for themselves. The times are generally completely out of whack with what my grill actually required (I use a Weber Silver B, which is not the most powerful grill out there but is certainly more than adequate for any of the recipes I tried). Some of the instructions are incomplete or downright contradictory!
So, recommended for charcoal users; everyone else, beware.

Summary: Loose Grips on the Grill
Comment: Some catchy ideas and tasty combos, but nothing simple here. And if you don't live in Tucson or El Paso, where do you come across "Consorizo," "carambolas," or squash blossoms on your run to the gas station? To their credit, the Jamison's give you alternatives that might show up at your local market, but don't wait to the last minute cause there's nothing here that can be done in that amount of time.
When you have the time, and need the quantity, there's some good stuff here. And the Jamison's have a very useful chapter on ingridients you can make and store (and even have the grace to include them in most of the 300 recipes! Nice going!). The instructions are seldom ambiguious and often entertaining and the layout inviting. Also enjoyed the lack of zealotry. The book reads like a cookout should feel.

Summary: Tasty recipes & other stuff, too...
Comment: Love this book...well orgnanized by type-of-food. As a beginner/intermediate griller, I get a lot out of it since the book supplements the (savory) recipes with tips and tricks on grilling techniques; e.g vegetable grilling techniques in "Getting Fresh in the Garden," and tips on picking the best cut of meat in "Serious Steaks." The cider-and-brown-sugar salmon (with spice rub) is one of my favorites...also love their beer-braised onion recipe in the burger section. I'll be heaping burgers high w/ these from now on.
I'd also never tried tricky scallops before and the timing was right on -- plus the paprika-rub spiced them up. If you're just starting to grill, check this book out - recommend it.
