In this hardback book Ben Bartlette, known as ‘BBQ Ben’ – the first ever winner of Britain’s ‘best BBQer’ title, lets you in on his secrets, best techniques and recipes. As well as writing for the Guardian and Sunday Times, Ben has also appeared on television programmes such as This Morning and Ready Steady Cook and is the President of the British BBQ Association; this guy must know a thing or two about sizzling those sausages!

For most men, the ability to make fire and barbeque food is inbuilt, the caveman’s ‘hunter-gatherer’ gene, if for some reason yours is lacking, or missing all together, this Step-by-step Haynes manual will guide you and show you how you too, can become king of the grill!

Written in a fool-proof, easy to follow way, BBQ Ben will guide you through everything you need to know, from choosing your barbeque, whether it be gas or charcoal, lump wood or briquettes to different cooking methods. You will discover the tools and equipment you really need, (wonky chef hat and novelty aprons are recommended but not compulsory). Learn about types of fuel, lighting techniques and cooking skills, recipes and methods for marinades, rubs and relishes as well as guiding you through the different array of meats, fishes and vegetables, yes, vegetables! Once these skills have been mastered and you’re feeling a little more adventurous you can move on to the more advance techniques covered within the book, like spit-roasting and brazucades (?)
