The BBQ Queens have created more than 350 delectable, doable recipes for grilled, smoked, barbecued, planked, stir-grilled, and rotisserie-cooked food in The BBQ Queens’ Big Book of Barbecue. Adler and Fertig cover every step of a meal: shopping lists and tips for easy ingredient preparation, how to keep the mess and the cooking time to a minimum when possible so that weeknight dinners are a breeze, and how to grill extra food in order to have great leftovers for meals throughout the week. They lay the groundwork for expert grilling and smoking with clear explanations of basic techniques, then they encourage backyard cooks to branch out and experiment with new versions or flavors. Special sections and photographs throughout highlight the adventures of and recipes from Grill Gals and BBQ Babes—women from all over the country and all walks of life who grill and smoke and want to spread the love.
Don’t let the tiaras fool you, Adler and Fertig are as serious about the art of barbecue as they are about having a royally good time. The BBQ Queens’ Big Book of Barbecue takes a fresh look at the power of outdoor cooking, harnessing it to create practical, delicious meals with a relaxed attitude.

Praise
“Who plans the barbecue menu, buys the food, preps it, and cleans up? After all that work, women should never miss out on the truly fun part of outdoor cooking. Nudge those guys over, and share the glory and grandness of putting meat to fire with the BBQ Queens’ practical advice. These two grill-friends serve up a royal feast.”
—Cheryl and Bill Jamison, James Beard Award-winning authors of Smoke & Spice, Born to Grill, Sublime Smoke, and Chicken on the Grill
“These gals are at the top of our backyard party list—they know how to fire it up and make it sizzle!”
—Emily Miles Terry and Ame Mahler Beanland, best-selling authors of Nesting: It’s a Chick Thing
“ROYAL PROCLAMATION: Karen Adler and Judith Fertig are THE Queens of Barbecue—I read this book like it had a PLOT and I cannot WAIT to commence cooking!”
—Jill Conner Browne, THE Sweet Potato Queen
“The BBQ Queens triumph again in this, their best book ever—chock full of detailed instructions on how to grill, smoke, and spit-roast on every imaginable outdoor cooking device, from the common kettle grill to the kamodo cooker. The hundreds of envelope-pushing, mouth-watering recipes prove not only that gals can, too, barbecue—but often do it with more élan then men. Great for grillers of both sexes and a valuable contribution to the art of ’que.”
—Steven Raichlen, author of How to Grill and The Barbecue! Bible, and host of BBQ University on PBS
