Praise for Ray Lampe

"Dr. BBQ is the premier barbecue teacher in the country today. He is helping to keep the grand old tradition of barbecue alive and well." ---Fast Eddy Maurin, Fast Eddy's/Cookshack

"Those of us who have made a study of barbecue know that Ray Lampe does, indeed, know jack about barbecue. . . . I appreciate his respect for the craft, its history, its traditions, and its practitioners. He's an original, colorful, sometimes abrasive and prickly character who contributes much to the image of barbecue. If he didn't exist we'd have to invent him."
---Doug Worgul, Writer-Editor, Kansas City Star, and author of The Grand Barbecue

Review Quotes

"The former truck driver from the Chicago area writes just as he speaks, friendly, unassuming, and with an understated wit. Nothing snobby about Dr. BBQ. His tips on technique and tools are scattered throughout the book." --The Huffington Post
