What to get the Dad who has everything? If he loves to barbecue, these new grilling cookbooks are just what he needs for Father’s Day on Sunday June 16th.
And now, the two must-have cookbooks for Father’s Day:
The Big Book of Barbecue on Your Pellet Grill by Toronto author Paula Stachyra
If you are lucky enough to own a pellet grill, this book is for you! The Big Book of Barbecue on Your Pellet Grill: 200 Showstopping Recipes for Sizzling Steaks, Juicy Brisket, Wood-Fired Seafood and More was released in May, written by Toronto author Paula Stachyra. It’s a hefty title and an equally hefty book packed with 200 recipes.
Nicknamed the “Queen of the Barbecue”, Paula Stachyra is the author of Wing Crush, co-host of All Up in My Grills podcast and creator of the popular blog Queen of the Grill.
This book contains favourites like Chicago-Style Beef Hot Dogs but certainly you will be inspired to up your game with recipes like Pineapple Plank Salmon, Cuban-Style Stuffed Pork Loin, Dr. Pepper ® BBQ Butterflied Chicken Drumstick, New England Shrimp Rolls or Brisket Birria Tacos and Street Corn Dip. And yes, you will find succulent steaks to BBQ on Father’s Day such as NY Strip Steak with Blue Cheese Compound Butter. Add a few great sides like BBQ Baked Beans, Smoked and Fried Deviled Eggs, BBQ Potato Skins and Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers with Caramelized Onion Dip.
Each recipe is paired with the pellet type that’s best suited to the dish. The Big Book of Barbecue is the ultimate guide to smoking, grilling, braising and even baking on your pellet grill and is a must-have book for those who are passionate about grilling.

The BBQ Pit Boys Book of Real Guuud Barbecue
Yet another BBQ book to add to your collection (or give to dad as a welcomed Father’s Day gift) is The BBQ Pit Boys Book of Real Guuud Barbecue: Grilling, Slow Roasting and Smoking. Beer-can Burgers, Fireball Whiskey, Meatballs, Venison Stew, Stuffed Alligator, Rubs, Marinades and More! This big volume is written by The BBQ Pit Boys who are popular cooking show hosts. The Pitt Boys specialty is showing audiences how to create great BBQ with a few simple elements: charcoal, a grill and some marinades or rubs. Their videos have taught millions of people how to grill everything from steaks to fun sides like onion wedges. There are several great recipes you will want to try—here’s just a sample: Double Cheese Bacon-Bang Burgers, London Broil Grilled Steak, Buffalo Wings Grilled Chicken Style, Apple Cider Smoked Turkey, Black Iron Pan Fish and Margarita Ribs.
The BBQ Pit Boys are a social media sensation. According to a media release from publisher Firefly Books, The BBQ Pit Boys have “over 2.2 million subscribers and more than 1 billion views making the BBQ Pit Boys by far the most-watched barbecue cooks on YouTube.”
The recipes seem easy to follow with numbered instructions. This combined with the gorgeous full-colour mouthwatering photos will surely inspire readers to “fire up the barbie” more often. As the authors state in their new book: “We appeal to the everyday griller, who loves to be outside, but might be intimidated by the process.”
