Which books are good gifts for someone who owns a pellet grill?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A pellet grilling book is important to a newcomer and is a welcome gift for veteran owners, as well. And let’s face it: there are only so many pellet grill gadgets to give<\/a>. But a book worthy of giving needs to be more than just a collection of recipes or how-tos. It should also be beautiful. Inspiring. It should make you a better, more confident smoker. And it should be a pleasure to flip through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all that in mind, we\u2019ve looked at 11 books about smoking food. Five are specifically about using a pellet grill and contain how-to\u2019s on setting one up, maintaining it, as well as how they work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other six books are more generally about smoking meat and offer just as much, sometimes more, information about becoming a more capable cook when using smoke. The techniques and recipes transfer easily to pellet grilling and often do a better job of explaining the art of smoking. Don\u2019t limit yourself to just \u201cpellet grill\u201d books, in other words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
