Check out Competition BBQ Secrets. 

It's hands down the best book we've found for getting the full scoop on how to cook competition level BBQ, what you need to know before you enter a BBQ Competition (so you don't get disqualified even before the judging) and what it takes to ultimately win at the highest level.    

Take care and never settle for bad BBQ!
