Healthy Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker Cookbook by Nancy Loseke

My husband loves to grill and smoke meat, so Healthy Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker Cookbook was exciting to look at. The author clearly knows what she's doing, and provides helpful information and tips about the pellet grill and smoker that both beginners and the more experienced will learn from. The recipes include nutritional information with each recipe, and, while there aren't photos for every recipe, the ones that are included are tantalizing. There are even sections for soups, salads, and side dishes.  We tried two recipes from this book: Naked Juicy Lucy Burgers and First-Timer's Pulled Pork.  The burgers lived up to their name - juicy - and our family really loved the smoked flavor and the sauce. However, we were disappointed with the First-Timer's Pulled Pork. We couldn't really taste the smoke even after 8 hours on the grill.  We also found the sauce too runny, but we normally cook our pulled pork in sauce in the slow cooker. This recipe calls for low-carb beer or sugar-free dark-colored soda, but no where in the recipe does it tell you what to do with it! It is listed separately from the sauce ingredients but there is no mention of putting it on the meat when you season it with salt and pepper. This omission could be why we were disappointed, and was the reason for my rating of 3 stars instead of 4.
I would like to thank NetGalley for allowing me to look at a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. #NetGalley #HealthyWoodPelletGrill&SmokerCookbook
