From the backyard to the competition circuit, Bill knows the ins and outs of how to make the most of any grill. Bill is a true example of an Ambassador of all things BBQ and grilling.” ―Danielle Dimovski, Pitmaster of Diva Q, host of "BBQ Crawl"

“Bill is among America's most innovative and talented pitmasters.” ―Heath Hall, owner of Pork Barrel BBQ Sauces

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought this book along with a smoker; the book has proved indispensable
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2017
Verified Purchase
I am not a talented cook, I don't cook by instinct, and I didn't know much about smoking. So, I looked into several books and purchased this one, along with my Weber Smoky Mountain Cooker. The book contains advice on preparing the smoker for use, setting up the coals, and maintaining the target temperature. Of course, it contains recipes, many with color photos and instructions for cutting and trimming; injecting or soaking in marinades; finishing up with foil; and so on. I have used the smoker twice. Both times, I carefully followed the slow-cook "Minion" method outlined toward the beginning of the book, and I used recipes from the book for baby back ribs, salmon, chicken, and beans. I also smoked some turkey legs and Italian sausage.

I have been extremely pleased by the results. And, I have found that the smoking process is quite simple. I feel like it's already becoming second nature, but I am glad that I started out with the book. I keep it on an end table and enjoy perusing it occasionally. Eventually, I'm going to try the "competion brisket" recipe and some of the appetizer recipes, such as "Armadillo eggs," sausage "fatties," and prosciutto-wrapped scallops.

4.0 out of 5 stars Salt, Bacon, and Sugar
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2023
Verified Purchase
I'm an American and this is a very "American" cookbook, very bacon, salt, and sugar heavy. I have made the high heat pork recipe so far and will cut the salt and sugar back even more next time (only cut the sugar in the sauce this time down). He has good tips and information, but I have noticed a few recipes missing a little info at times but it isn't anything major. Overall, it's a good book with good info and recipes. I just think they're a bit too rich and need adjustment to be optimal. If you want healthy recipes, you probably need to look elsewhere or just modify (that's my plan!). There are recipes for some things (like shredded beef) that I had been wanting, the Weber cookbook let me down on that one! I'd recommend this book overall, but take it with a few grains less salt (hence the 4 stars).

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Smokey Mountain owners
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2015
Verified Purchase
After purchasing a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, my husband and I waited patiently for a year for this cookbook to come out- we couldn't be more thrilled with it. We've purchased a few other smoking books but were disappointed to find that many of the recipes were geared towards smoking on a grill or some other type of smoker, the recipes weren't necessarily compatible with the Smokey Mountain.

Bill Gillespie has delivered dozens of incredible recipes geared towards Smokey Mountain owners. The recipes are easy to follow and it eliminates the guess work involved with having to adapt a recipe to work with the Smokey Mountain. You can certainly muddle through online forums and you tube to find specific recipes for the Smokey Mountain or try to adapt recipes for other cookers. But if you're somewhat of a novice to smoking, if you're not someone who is firing up the smoker every day to play around with timing and temps or if you're looking for no-fail recipes that guarantee great results with the Smokey Mountain, this book is a must have.

We've worked through a handful of the recipes and been more than satisfied with them all. We even ventured into the quicker, high-heat recipes and had great results with the quick brisket.

I bought on Amazon the book -Smoke Meat like a Pro that was a ripoff -big timer!!One tiny-- as in very tiny paragraph about the WSM smoker
Plenty of run a round about various smokers, in short the "Arthur" grabbed info off the net about Home Depot grills and smokers ,, borrowed the recipes, ( stole is such a descriptive word!!) clocked us with a price , stunk out the joint!! Amazon give me my money back , thanks Big A, you are best!!

This book Secrets to Smoking is excellent has many pages abut the Weber Smokey Mountain, smoker (WSM)

Plenty o f page about the WSM --second by second set up ,, tips, sequences!!! Hooray !!All in all about 9 pages , 5 most vital and well done.

Well almost--the print is sooooooooo small for this first class book , its insulting !! Publisher needs 40 whacks in real time!!! The arthur has encountered problems, tips, better ways and- he's excellent about how to communicate this to us readers !! Buy it , you 'll be Amazed the book very well put together , a must read! Love it!! Love it!!
