Books on outdoor grilling abound, but few get the job done as concisely as Weber's Charcoal Grilling. Addressed, as most such books are, to the male cook, this collection of 115 attractive recipes, which range from rubs and sauces to desserts--and includes, besides the basics, the tasty likes of Filet Mignon Steaks with Martini Marinade; Dutch Oven Jambalaya; and Caribbean-Spiced Grouper with Yellow Pepper Sauce--necessarily concentrates on technique. A comprehensive, color-photo-illustrated section on fire-mastery helps guide readers through fundamentals and more advanced approaches like outdoor smoking. Included also are portraits of successful guy-grillers, which should provide further encouragement to the grilling-diffident. With good notes on shopping and grilling pitfalls--how to avoid fish sticking to the grill is one--this is an excellent, to-the-point guide. --Arthur Boehm

Excellent recipes and cooking techniques August 31, 2008

I bought my husband this a year after I got him a full size Weber charcoal grill. He was struggling to get chicken cooked inside without a black/ burnt outside, and this book provided exact charcoal arrangement technique and food positioning he needed to have it come out perfect. He loves all the recipes and exact directions for achieving perfectly grilled meats and vegetables. Excellent value, and a great gift.
Great book for the charcoal lover May 11, 2008

I have all of the other weber grill books and I find this one even better. I really liked the begining of the book with the discussion of different types of charcoal and what to expect from them. It really is a grilling 101 course. I also loved the parts were they detail cooking right on or right next to the coals. Never used this technic and adds a great favor.

I bought this book after acquiring a Weber Performer. Like the Art of the Grill, also put out by Weber and written by Jamie Purviance, this book is nicely illustrated and the recipes are great. The author really knows what he is talking about. This book falls slightly short of perfection for two reasons. First, it is difficult to navigate if the reader is looking for a specific recipe. A more complete table of contents would help. To illustrate, to find a recipe for a roast chicken the current table of contents sends you to a section on poultry, then you have to leaf through all of the chapter to find what you want. This format is fine for a lazy day, but not ideal for busy people who need to get dinner going.
The other shortfall has to do with the subject of when to cook with the lid on, versus when better results can be obtained with the lid off. Author Purviance seems to fall into the trap of recommending that the lid be on as much as possible. This might be the holy grail according to Saint Weber, but alas it is urban legend. The lid is fine, I use mine all the time, but there are many times when the food tastes better if the lid stays off. For a better treatment of this subject, I recommend Cook's Illustrated new grilling book.
Weber's Charcoal Grilling is a must have for the recipes. It also has contributions from people other than the author that make the book more fun and more varied. This is an excellent book and it is highly recommended.
