 Really good!May 21, 2006
By Kat Bakhu
Raichlen's premise is that everyone should know how to barbeque a good rack of ribs. I thought that was a good premise, and I had to admit that such an ability was indeed lacking from my own repetoire. It's not that I haven't tried. I got a smoker three years ago. Despite many efforts, producing lip-smacking ribs remained a hit or miss affair. I still hadn't acquired the confidence or technique that guarantees good ribs time after time.
So I bought Raichlen's book, hoping that he would make good on his promise that he would teach me how to make good barbeque ribs without fail. When the book arrived (from Amazon), I went straight to his "The One Rib Recipe Everyone should know."
After a quick trip to the store to get a couple of missing ingredients needed for his dry rub and sauce, I got down to business. The results? My oh my oh my! Better than I have ever prepared on my best day. Better than I have ever eaten at any rib joint. The delicious aromas wafting from my smoker suggested that something wonderful was happening. The sauce, the dry rub, the recommended procedure for cooking them all came together to make perfection!
About the sauce, I've made several barbeque sauces before, but his was the first one I made that had a hearty dose of lemon zest and lemon juice. Did that ever work! Tangy and sweet and flavorful. His dry rub mixture was also excellent.
There are 99 other rib recipes in this book, and most of them look really intersting. But the centerpiece recipe, the "rib recipe that everyone should know", is worth the price of the book alone. It's enough to turn you into a backyard 'cue pro, the envy of mere amateur tong wielders.

 One of my favorite books on Ribs...Dec 01, 2006
By Gary Edmonds
"Gary E."
I found this book was much fun to read while sitting next to the grill, waiting for a delicious outcome. Reading about the various Rib recipes from all over the world made my mouth water and kept me busy on weekends throughout this summer.
One of the best things about reading this book is that it helped me to further understand how Rib-recipes are designed. I have now successfully made up my own recipes and really enjoyed the results! Many recipes have common ingredients and it was a matter of trial and error to recombine them until something new was created. Following recipes is good, making up your own is better!

Great ribs, great funApr 09, 2007
By Sparky
I got this book last summer and have used it many times - there's alot of basic info on ribs to understand how to cook various types of ribs to get the best results in each case. The first recipe in the book for basic ribs is winner - I make it all the time in the summer, adjusting it here and there to get different flavors. He really knows alot about the grill, so that information is worth the price of the book alone. If you love ribs, buying this book is a no brainer.

If you like ribs then this is your next book!Jul 19, 2006
By Travis Fosmo
"Barbecue Lover!"
Thank you Guru Raichlen for another great book! In Steven's newest book he concentrates on my favorite-Ribs! No more going threw all his other books(which are very good and I do own them all), when I want some ribs it's all here. I look foward to many weekends with my smoker and this book. Every type of rib is covered- cow,pig, sheep, bison,and even fish ribs!(some huge fish from the Amazon)Also when you buy the book there is an offer on Stevens website to get a free instant read thermometer which cost as much as the book itself! This is in my top three favorites, "BBQ USA" and Stevens "How to grill" are the other two.

RibtasticAug 28, 2006
By Edward Smith
This book is great, I had grilled some ribs before, but never to this extent or variety. So far I've tried a number of recipes from the book and not been disappointed once, whether it be baby back, beef short or spare ribs. If you want a book to give you not only recipes but also a tutorial on how to cook your rib of choice then look no further, in fact whatever you want for rib-grilling tips look no further - buy now.
