The Complete Wood Pellet Barbeque Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide and Recipe Book for Wood Pellet Grills

The versatility of wood pellet grills%E2%80%94which can function as basic grills, smokers, and even convection ovens%E2%80%94make them an attractive option for barbeque and grilling aficionados in search of an all-in-one outdoor cooking appliance that allows for more control over temperature and flavor. In this informative and accessible collection, pellet grill enthusiast Devon shares recipes for ordinary (though no less delicious) fare, including grilled salmon, Jamaican jerk chicken, Texas-style brisket, and Mediterranean ribs. Devon also explains how to make grilled pineapple upside-down cake, French bread, and a host of sauces and spice blends. Though the author has an abiding affection for hard-to-source ingredients like tomato and vinegar powders for his rubs, the majority of these dishes are flavorful and straightforward, and pellet grillers will appreciate his specific instructions for cooking times, suggested woods (like mesquite, maple, cherry, oak, and more), and even wine pairings. Despite a few filler recipes (one for a "Plain Ol' Hot Dog" seems particularly superfluous), Devon's guide is a great introduction to pellet grilling and outdoor cookery in general, though experienced grillers will likely find little new here.
