How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques by Steven Raichlen

The recipes are creative, insightful, and beautifully photographed.
Charred & Scruffed by Adam Perry Lang
Perry Lang is a serious classically trained chef and he knows a lot about barbecue and grilling. This book shows off his macho cooking philosophy and several clever concepts, chief among them, board dressings. So simple, but this is a super way to add flavor to grilled foods.
The Cooks Illustrated Guide to Grilling and Barbecue
