From the Publisher:

In his inimitable style of wit and wordplay, author discloses the true origin of the word "barbecue" and the origin of the technique that distinguishes barbecue from all other forms of cooking.

He explains the rational and methods for mixing and using marinades, rubs, basting and finishing sauces.
