Reading books about barbecueing and cooking is essential. I get a lot of my recipes from reading barbecue books and barbecue recipe books. A lot of times I see a recipe I like, but see ingredients that I do not care for. What I do is use the ingredients I like and substitute the ones I do not like with something I am familiar with.
Books are a great way to get ideas on different things to barbecue. I love to barbecue and I always try to barbecue food that is suppose to be cooked in the oven or stove top. Most of the time the food comes out better on the barbecue pit. Do not be afraid to try a new recipe on the barbecue pit. You will surprise yourself when you taste some of the food that comes out of that pit. Check out some of the books I recommend!
