Top BBQ Cookbooks

I’m in the process of releasing my next BBQ cookbook (more HERE) and I’ve been looking back at some of my top BBQ cookbooks of all time. Since i did the video on my top ten there’s been a few big cook books released (including Meathead’s notable tome, Franklin’s books, and the latest TOP TEN in outdoor cooking). I updated the list below – But I still think this is a great batch of over ten top BBQ cookbooks. The number one may surprise you.

Let me know about your top BBQ cookbooks in the comments!

1- The Pat Conroy Cookbook

I know Pat Conroy really isn’t know for BBQ but I just really liked his writing and stories. A different kind of cook book for sure but I reccomend it especially if you have a soft place in your heart for the state of South Carolina or any of the late author’s classic books (Prince of Tides and many more). Got an obscure cookbook? Tell me about it.
