Summary

A New York Times best selling complete meat- and brisket-cooking education from the country's most celebrated pitmaster and owner of the wildly popular Austin restaurant Franklin Barbecue。

When Aaron Franklin and his wife， Stacy， opened up a small barbecue trailer on the side of an Austin， Texas， interstate in 2009， they had no idea what they’d gotten themselves into。 Today， Franklin Barbecue has grown into the most popular， critically lauded， and obsessed-over barbecue joint in the country （if not the world）—and Franklin is the winner of every major barbecue award there is。
 
In this much-anticipated debut， Franklin and coauthor Jordan Mackay unlock the secrets behind truly great barbecue， and share years’ worth of hard-won knowledge。 Franklin Barbecue is a definitive resource for the backyard pitmaster， with chapters dedicated to building or customizing your own smoker; finding and curing the right wood; creating and tending perfect fires; sourcing top-quality meat; and of course， cooking mind-blowing， ridiculously delicious barbecue， better than you ever thought possible。

This is not a recipe book。 It’s a book about Aaron Franklin and his approach to barbecue。 If Aaron didn’t have such crazy accolades and an impressive reputation I would have thought said his approach is simplistic… and it is。 Ironically， when it comes to smoking， simple is hard。 Using real wood， source good ingredients。 Aaron doesn’t hide anything。 He even gives a slight tutorial on how to build your own smoker from scratch （like he has done for all of his smokers）。I like his playful and humble This is not a recipe book。 It’s a book about Aaron Franklin and his approach to barbecue。 If Aaron didn’t have such crazy accolades and an impressive reputation I would have thought said his approach is simplistic… and it is。 Ironically， when it comes to smoking， simple is hard。 Using real wood， source good ingredients。 Aaron doesn’t hide anything。 He even gives a slight tutorial on how to build your own smoker from scratch （like he has done for all of his smokers）。I like his playful and humble writing style， and I especially love alp the beautiful pictures in this book。 It’s really hard to read and not be hungry。 It’s especially frustrating knowing he’s in Texas and I’m in Minnesota。Great book for aspiring smokers。 。。。more

Excellent for advanced smokers。 Not for newbies。 It’s the basic parameters to build skills to become an expert。 I loved that it was giving you the basic tools to start your own grilling journey。

Reading about his journey into becoming a restaurateur just gets me jazzed to take on my own passion projects， and the rest of the book makes me long for a yard and the ability to store/use a legit offset smoker。 Until then I’ll make due with the Kamado。While not really a cook book， I feel like he does give off a lot （if not all？） of his “secrets”。 It’s especially helpful he gives more sensory instructions。 Can’t tell you the number of cooking recipes I’ve ruined going off hard numbers that don’ Reading about his journey into becoming a restaurateur just gets me jazzed to take on my own passion projects， and the rest of the book makes me long for a yard and the ability to store/use a legit offset smoker。 Until then I’ll make due with the Kamado。While not really a cook book， I feel like he does give off a lot （if not all？） of his “secrets”。 It’s especially helpful he gives more sensory instructions。 Can’t tell you the number of cooking recipes I’ve ruined going off hard numbers that don’t take environment/quality of ingredients into account。 。。。more

I was never especially good with smoking brisket until I read this book。 My brisket went from a six to a nine following his techniques。 The main game changers were controlling temperature with fuel quantity instead of air flow， understanding the stall， and final cooking wrapped in butcher paper instead of foil。

This is a great book; it's full of philosophy and anecdotes - only about 1/5 of it is a "cookbook"。 Greatly helped me gain insight and knowledge on the process！ This is a great book; it's full of philosophy and anecdotes - only about 1/5 of it is a "cookbook"。 Greatly helped me gain insight and knowledge on the process！ 。。。more

Like zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance for meat smokers。 So much more than a cook book。 In fact it has only four recipes bit so many valuable lessons。 I loved reading every second of this。 Franklin’s passion translates near perfectly to print in this manifesto。

Bryan ，

This is a great and detailed book for any aspiring home BBQ we to use。 I’ve followed Franklin for a while and the results have been great so far from his guidance。 All the details in this book have helped a lot。 This is one to have on the book shelf long term。

Andy Collier ，

If like me you are entering the world of the smoker bbq then this book sets you up with a wealth of information on how to do it right。 An off-set smoker from my wife， bbq tools of the trade from my daughter and son in law and this book from my son all for Christmas。。。。。。。bring on the summer！ A great read for anyone interested in this art form of cooking

I've slowly worked through this very thorough masterpiece on Central Texas style barbecue。 I highly recommend this book of your love barbecue pit want to get some basics on the in and out of smoking。 I've slowly worked through this very thorough masterpiece on Central Texas style barbecue。 I highly recommend this book of your love barbecue pit want to get some basics on the in and out of smoking。 。。。more

I’m hungry now！ I have recently started smoking meat and wanted a book that not only told me what I was doing， but why I was doing it。 I enjoyed the geeky science aspects and learning what’s happening to the meat and the smoker while cooking。 As a Traeger owner， I definitely feel like I’m cheating！ That being said， I’ve learned so much and maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to cook like Franklin！

Stephanie ，

This books is extremely in-depth on BBQ。 I really appreciated everything from how to procure firewood to quantities of rub。 I thought it was inspiring without being overbearing。 Thanks for this！

Jason Weiss ，

Definitely and interesting read。 Franklin is a fascinating character。 I didn’t really find it all that useful as an instructional book though。 His equipment is pretty specialized and his techniques fairly dogmatic。 I’m not sure it translates all that well to the casual backyard bbq

Chris ，

Not so much a cook book， but a how to smoke。

Drew ，

Fantastic knowledge booster！I'm very new to BBQ， but I felt like this book gave me a lot of information to think on， as well as some very solid guidelines。 Fantastic knowledge booster！I'm very new to BBQ， but I felt like this book gave me a lot of information to think on， as well as some very solid guidelines。 。。。more

Fantastic book。 Reading about his seasoning philosophy and his discussion on different cuts of meat was excellent。

John Carmody ，

I follow Aaron Franklin on YouTube and always enjoy the very informative video sessions and this book was just as informative！ Recommend this book to all of the BBQ enthusiasts out there。

Rob Pritts ，

The bible for smoking meat。 Franklin is the master。 Bow and listen。

Rene Martinez ，

3。5 stars， really。 Great look at how the best BBQ I've ever had is made， with enough information to give it a try yourself。 But be warned: AF emphasizes the need for smoke from full-on wood fires， which as far as I can tell， require custom smokers。 3。5 stars， really。 Great look at how the best BBQ I've ever had is made， with enough information to give it a try yourself。 But be warned: AF emphasizes the need for smoke from full-on wood fires， which as far as I can tell， require custom smokers。 。。。more

Outstanding book。 Its more of a text book than a cook book， which is perfect for me and my fellow BBQ nerds。 This book is a step by step guide to Texas BBQ， right from the brain of the best in the business。

It is obviously made for a specific audience， but it's soooo well written。 Very easy to digest （no point intended） It is obviously made for a specific audience， but it's soooo well written。 Very easy to digest （no point intended） 。。。more

Not that useful to me currently in China， but hopefully the lessons learned will carry over when I return to a place where I can smoke some meat。

Antoine Sauve ，

Great book so many useful tips and insight！

Franklin's Barbecue was the finest meal I've consumed in my 27 years on earth。 I am not exaggerating when I describe the brisket as world-shatteringly good and truly life-altering。 Every meal from here on out will inevitably been compared to Franklin's。 When I returned from Austin， I immediately started researching smokers and barbeque and now have my own set up at my house。 While I don't have an off-set smoker like Aaron （yet）， I do try to channel his positivity， charm， and skill anytime I'm co Franklin's Barbecue was the finest meal I've consumed in my 27 years on earth。 I am not exaggerating when I describe the brisket as world-shatteringly good and truly life-altering。 Every meal from here on out will inevitably been compared to Franklin's。 When I returned from Austin， I immediately started researching smokers and barbeque and now have my own set up at my house。 While I don't have an off-set smoker like Aaron （yet）， I do try to channel his positivity， charm， and skill anytime I'm cooking。 I was so excited to get this book and it did not disappoint。 While most of the advice is tailored to how he cooks （off-set smokers）， it includes plenty of information that is applicable to other ways of smoking meat。 He makes a wildly intimidating skill seem accessible and fun。 Also， Wyatt McSpadden's photos throughout painted a vibrant and beautiful picture of the artform that goes back millennia。I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in cooking/smoking meat。 。。。more

Loved the book。 I am a smoker perfectionist and this was great。 Loved the tips！

Josh Nankivel ，

Great book， I learned so much about smoking and barbecue， I recommend this to everyone who is interested。

FantasticPart autobiography， history lesson on live fire barbecue and detailed recipe book， Aaron tells his story & shares his deep knowledge of smoking meat low and slow。

Raul Alfredo ，

Good-easy to read book。 Great photos， franklin put all his heart in what he do and you can feel it in this bookDont expect a lot of recipes

Norbert Haukenfrers ，

This is a great all-around intro to wood smoke BBQ。 It covers everything and is written in a wonderful conversation style that makes you feel like your sitting across the picnic table or at the pit in your lawn chair with Aaron Franklin。
