Great book! can't say much more about it, as it is everything the title suggests. There are a lot of fantastic full-plans inside for various kitchen implementations outside, from typical built-in grills to woodburning stoves and smokers, to a pizza oven.

when our neighboors lend us their copy of this book, I knew right away I needed to buy my own copy. Great photos, step by step instructions and blueprints. A must have if you want to improve your outdoor BBQ experience.
