The perfect companion for your gas grill July 12, 2006

Let me first say that I love barbecuing, and I guess you do, or you wouldn't even be checking this or any other barbecue book. I try to grill my family dinners almost every weekend, so I would have to say that I have put on thousands of barbecues this far. I consider this book great because with the recipes on it I can try every now and then to make something a little bit different (I guess just to avoid a mutiny among my family crew, Ja Ja).
I don't have to do a fancy or hard to find ingredients, or follow step-by-steps a recipe that might requires to long, but I get great ideas that help me introduce variations that keep the weekends barbecues interesting and fun the whole family.
In this book you will find some recipe or idea that you can try. Last, but not least, always enjoy the experience of barbecuing and grilling at home, with or without this book. With your own recipes or with borrowed recipes. Just enjoy the moment and have a lot of fun with family and friends around the grill.
 The 2nd worst grilling book ever written October 1, 2005

Now I know, there are plenty of people on here tauting the greatness of this book. Which is why *I* bought it. In fact, I bought TWO copies planning on giving one as a present. So what you'll find here is an honest, educated, comparitive review. Not some "oh goody I just bought a grill at walmart and need to learn to use it!" kneejerk reaction to the first book I found.
This book is a complete and total waste of paper. The recipes are lackluster, very few if any are 'grill' related. There are NO PICTURES in this book whatsoever, just a few scrawled out hand sketches. So whatever you get when you're done, you're on your own. And here is what makes this book so incredibly bad, and why the author should legally never be able to write another grilling book - EVERY RECIPE in this thing says "turn one burner off and place food over it". Wha?!?? That's right, EVERY recipe. As anyone who has ever turned on a gas grill or ignited charcoal knows, there is a huge difference between direct and indirect grilling. There is no one perfect setting for all things grilled.
Run, do not walk away from this book. Invest your money in Weber's series of grilling books, they are the only ones actually worthy of recommendation. "Real Grilling" in particular is the best of all grilling books.
That folks, is total disclosure. No fluff here.
Search No Further...This is THE Book for Gas Grilling!!! April 26, 2003

I have over five hundred cookbooks in my collection and fifty of these are dedicated to barbeque, grilling and smoke cooking. The Gas Grill Gourmet was one of my earliest purchases and remains my favorite reference for gas grilling. To be sure, it isn't fancy or larded with a lot of pictures (In fact there are NONE)but it is an indispensable source of information, tips, techniques and simply delicious recipes. It is the best discussion of indirect cooking that I have come across.What I particularly like is that the recipes are for food that most of us will find easy to prepare, with ingredients that we have on the shelf or are readily available at the supermarket. You are also given a taste of a wide variety of grilling cuisines. In the poultry section alone, French, Jamaican, Indian, Southwestern, Italian, Mexican and Asian cuisines are represented with recipes that you will find both easy to prepare and delicious on the palate. At the beginning of each section, Mr. Sinnes provides the reader with tips and suggestions to maximize your grilling experience. The recipes are listed at the beginning of the section and include the page numbers. You will particularly find the Introduction helpful as the author thoroughly discusses what you should look for in a gas grill, grilling techniques, safety and necessary accessories. In short, whether you be novice or expert, this book will be a welcome addition to your grilling experience. It won't disappoint and your family and guests will be most impressed and will come back repeatedly.

This is one of the best grilling recipe books I've found. The recipes in it resulted in tasty meals. This bible of gas grilling demystifies the gas grill! I've made chicken and vegetables that wowed even the harshest grilling critic.
