Happy Customer: Great cookbook. This book is a must have if you only purchase one BBQ cookbook. Easy to follow and every recipe I have tried (following the directions) has turned out perfect.

Dxh24: I've got a couple other Weber grill recipe books, this is hands down my favorite. It's got everything from basics too some really delicious recipes, to how to process a whole chicken.
There's a section for each type of food, starters, poultry, fish, beef, desserts etc. At the beginning of each section, there's info on how long to cook different cuts/types of what food your cooking, grill heat, indirect/direct, and how long. Really helpful for a newer grill guy like me.
Each recipe is really nicely laid out and easy to follow, and one thing I really like is right at the beginning of the recipe it tells you special equipment required (or if it's optional) so you don't get halfway through the process and realize you need a cast iron pan.
Another thing I really liked about this book was in the back, it breaks down rubs, sauces, marinades. I'm newer and I had no idea how to make a rub, or a sauce. My marinades consisted of premade Italian dressing lol. This section lays out what the goal of a sauce or a rub, marinade is, and gives you some recipes for each kind of food (beef/poultry/fish). Really cool for somebody learning.
Most recipe books I'll look...

Heather: I'm a fairly new BBQ cook (we've only had our BBQ for about a year), and while I have pretty thoroughly conquered sausages and burgers, I wanted to see what else I could do. Weber's New Real Grilling is chocked full of great recipes and handy tips and hints on how to become a great BBQ chef.
The book begins with a brief history of BBQing and the Weber company, and then it moves into the over 200 recipes. Sections includes:
- Starters
- Red Meat
- Pork
- Poultry
- Seafood
- Vegetables and Sides
- Desserts
- Rubs, Brines, Marinades, and Sauces
The wide variety of recipes (all fully photographed) mean that there is sure to be something you will love. We have particularly enjoyed the BBQ pizza, Korean-Style Beef Burgers, Moroccan-Spiced Chicken Kabobs, and the Mexican-Style Corn on the Cob. I also enjoyed the new take on the classic Weber recipes. They did a nice job updating them for more modern sensibilities.
Right now this is my favourite BBQ recipe book. I look forward to trying a lot more recipes over the summer.

Cmarleau: Let me start by saying that BBQing in my family fits into my husband's wheelhouse, not mine. I bought this book for myself and it has helped me graduate from being a complete BBQ novice to an intermediate outdoor cook. I love the photos at the top of every recipe as well as illustrated guidelines on how to "prevent sticking" and "how to fillet a whole fish" for example. There's a Tzatiziki recipe in this book that is so amazing it has made me a favourite at potluck events. I disagree with another review that described this book as predictable; spinach and ricotta calzone, smoked chicken enchilada pie, herb-crusted rib roast au jus.... not recipes I've seen before and these have all made me a star at home. Not one bad recipe, all kinds of "BBQ-for-idiots" tips and tricks... what more could an outdoor grilling book provide. And it's by Weber, seriously, other than Bobby Flay who knows BBQ better???

CouchCritic: As a Weber Fan Boy, I have purchased many books from their catalogue. Other than The Weber's Complete Book of Barbecue, this has to be one of their best. Really informative with lots of step by steps and "how to's" from knife skills, essential larder items and charcoal techniques.
There is also a fantastic number of recipes all of which can be easily followed with satisfying results. The only gripe I do have is that this book is exactly the same as Weber's Big Book of Barbecue. For that reason I can only give 4 Stars.
I can only assume this is the American version? As much as I love Weber products, I can't justify paying for this book twice for a different cover and title!
If you already own Big Book of Barbecue, save your money or buy the Complete Book of Barbecue.

Bob M: Once again a book full of stunning, mouthwatering recipes that always come up trumps. What I like about Jamie's books is that they make you think outside of the box and be a little more creative trying things that you may not have otherwise considered. For those new to the BBQ there are plenty of excellent tips on using the right equipment and cooking methods. Beginner or expert you will not regret buying this. Great photos, easy to follow instructions, fabulous food at the end. What else do you want? Buy it, you know you want to :-)

G. Hafer: For most of us grillers with winter climates, each spring brings a newness signaled by the warm sun and the removal of the winter crud that accumulates on burner tubes and the kettle underbelly. It isn't that we don't grill in winter; it's just that spring brings new hope and, better yet, the promise of a new Weber cookbook. Jamie Purviance's Weber's New Real Grilling is this year's worthy edition; unlike winter's snowy skies and bitter winds, it never disappoints.
I cook a tri-annual Fest of too much food (and the occasional beer) for my colleagues, with bombastic elaborate menus and outside dining paraphernalia, but none of that planning and fun would be possible without Jamie Purviance's wonderful books. For this spring, I cooked three recipes from Weber's New Real Grilling: Pulled Chicken Sliders with Root Beer Barbecue Sauce, Mexican-Style Corn on the Cob, Globe Eggplant with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette. My guests--all carnivorous males--gave equal accolades for all three. That eight males loved eggplant is reason enough to buy this book. I know one of my guests did.
Since then, I've cooked a dozen recipes from its pages. Yet, that's not the only reason to buy...

John G. Gleeson Sr.: The original Real Grilling came out in 2005 and at last count had 146 5 star reviews, and for reasons that apply equally to this new release. But before I suggest why you, gentle reader, might wish to shell out a few buckaroos for "another cookbook", let me digress a bit.
This book starts with a forward by Mike Kempster, who started peddling Weber grills in the early days, and became, if memory serves, Marketing VP there. His commentaries in Weber's Big Book of Grilling made interesting reading as to what it must have been like to get the brand rolling back in the day. I never met him, but Mike seems to be the kind of guy one might like to have as a guest on the deck or patio with the grill cooking and a few cold adult malted beverages nearby. His work as well as that of the entire Weber team has brought outdoor cooking to a much higher level than it was back in the early 1960s when I got my first kettle grill and started burning things. Which brings me to Jamie Purviance and his series of excellent cookbooks.
When I got into this stuff, there were no grilling/outdoor cookbooks; one learned by doing, and if there was a mistake that could be made, believe me, I made...
