What outdoor cookbook[s] do you find worthless for grilling and BBQ. I have
two, both written or edited by very well known, accomplished cookbook
authors.

1. The Time/Life book "Outdoor Cooking" edited by Richad Olney, author of
"Simple French Food" and others

2. "James Beard's Treasury of Outdoor Cooking, written by James Beard.

What are your choices?

I've probably tried grilling with over a dozen cookbooks. In each
and ever case, the burning paper pages gives the meat a terrible
flavor and the plastic covers of many cookbooks melts and is very
difficult to remove from the grill tub. My advice would be to use
charcoal or gas for grilling and wood chips for smoking.

Live a good and honorable life.
Then when you get older and
think back, you'll enjoy it
a second time.

Heh. You're right on this one. Beard was a great cook, he had a cool style
that influenced many, but he could also put out books that would sell just
because they had his name on them.

If you think this one is lackluster, check out his bread book. It's
even worse

If you have 2, and they are worthless, why do you still have 2?
