After first checking with LTBBQ management and getting their approval I humbly announce the official release of my cookbook - The Wood Pellet Smoker & Grill Cookbook.

"Exactly where I'm at! I'm ready, but I am confused as to which one. I have googled, I have you tubed I thought I was all in on the Camp Chef, but I went to Gander Mountain to look and touch it, Geez they had two there one didn't have the smoke stack $399.00 , A wouldn't waste $400.00 on it. The other had the stack in the back with the easy ash clean out $599.00 I think it's the first generation the lid was super thin and I could twist it in either direction with one hand. Not gonna spend 600.00 on that maybe I'm wrong I think they did some upgrades. Super confused ready to dive into the pellet pool, not sure which direction to go...... :-X

Congrats Pete! A must buy for me.

Thank you all for the kind words! I know that I will not be able to thank each and everyone's best wishes but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate it.
I feel blessed to have been contacted by Ulysses Press to see if I would be interested in writing a wood pellet smoker and grill cookbook. At first I thought it was spam but something kept me from deleting the email ... to make a long story short ... My cookbook will be going to the printers in a couple of weeks. Upon closer scrutiny (not counting recipe books provided by pellet grill manufacturers) I learned that basically there is only one other wood pellet barbecue cookbook. Mine will make 2 when it comes out in 2 months.
So excited to see the finished book! I can't imagine how much work that must be to put together!
It was more difficult and time consuming than I thought it would be Kat. Spent a good 8 months on all facets of the manuscript. I normally never measure anything - Some of this, some of that, throw it on till IT reaches temp, tweak the pit, rest, and enjoy. But for the cookbook I had to develop each recipe with precise amounts, temps, time, etc. All in all it was a very gratifying project and I have a new found respect for cookbook authors.

Thanks Dave. You'll never look back after you make the leap to a pellet cooker!
Very cool. Congrats. Your description has a typo
Where Oh where Pappy? Is it "... into a masters of home barbecue." - should it be "... into a master of home barbecue."?
... Super confused ready to dive into the pellet pool, not sure which direction to go...... :-X
There are a lot of factors when considering any barbecue smoker/grill - let alone a wood pellet smoker & grill. By now means am I an expert but I would be glad to help out if I can - just IM me with any questions.

Super proud of you Pete. Gonna get a copy as well.

Thanks for the heads up Pappy. You can stare at something all day long and never see it ... appreciate your input.
Brisket in the oven!!? - At my age I remember that Seinfeld episode when they would say "blah, blah, blah ... not that there's anything wrong with that!" 8) :D ;)

Super proud of you Pete. Gonna get a copy as well.
Thanks smoke.

Wow, that is an awesome accomplishment! I will probably get one even though I don't have a pellet grill (yet).

Thanks Ken. As long as you can reasonably hold temperatures using charcoal, wood, propane then most of my recipes can be adapted to your particular grill.

The Smoke will be happy to know I put it in the freezer until I can cook it proper.

Congratulations on your book being ready for sale Pete! Can't wait for mine to arrive on May 7th.

My copy arrived earlier than anticipated. It is a really good book. It is full of great recipes, tips and information. The recipes are very clearly written and easy to follow. The book would be particularly helpful to someone just beginning to use a pellet grill. It is full of beautifully taken photos too.
Congratulations on a great book Pete. It is easy to see you put in a lot of time, thought and energy on this project.

Thanks for the kind words Larry. From start to finish it took be about 10 months.

I was surprised to get mine a bit ahead of schedule too!!! It looks AWESOME, Pete!! Great layout, thorough explanations in the recipe cooking steps, delicious photos, and a really great variety! All looks very high end- quite impressive!
Well done and congrats again!! As Larry said, this would be a fantastic book for someone just getting into smoking, but has some great ideas for more seasoned smokers too! :)

Mine has been downloaded onto my Kindle. That way I can take it with me and the pages won't get greasy.
