Why people recommend it
Franklin Barbecue by Aaron Franklin and Jordan Mackay is a comprehensive guide to mastering the art of Texas-style smoking and meat preparation, written by the renowned pitmaster. Daniel Holzman brought up Aaron Franklin's book on The Joe Rogan Experience in June 2024 to explain his personal cooking methods, noting that whenever he wants to barbecue at home, he simply follows the steps outlined in the Franklin barbecue book. In a different episode on the Monday Morning Podcast in July 2022, Bill Burr encouraged listeners to learn specific crafts from acknowledged masters, telling his audience to learn barbecue from Aaron Franklin, skateboarding from Tony Alva, and songwriting from Alicia Keys. While Burr did not explicitly name the book itself, he recognized Franklin as the definitive authority on the subject. These mentions highlight the widespread influence of the pitmaster's instructional work, showing how both culinary professionals and home cooks rely on his expert guidance to achieve authentic barbecue results in their own kitchens.
