Whatever your level of pitmaster expertise your barbeque can improve dramatically by using the Pitmaster's Log Book. And it doesn't matter what you are cooking or, if you have an offset smoker/barbecue pit, vertical smoker, pellet smoker, drum style smoker or, a grill. The Pitmaster's Log Book is your essential accessory to mastering barbecue

When Rob started cooking 15 years ago, he wrote things down on paper. But, something was missing. How does he pass down his barbecue experience to the next generation of pitmaster, his daughter? Aside from showing her and working with her side by side, it would be helpful to create a reference for her of what Rob did well and what he learned.

Out of love for his late wife and the different styles of barbecue, Rob undertook a study of barbecue which, to date, spans 16 years. He first studied by interacting in an early online barbecue newsgroup and worked his way through a collection of carefully selected books. Starting his barbecue efforts on a charcoal grill, within a year he upgraded to an Oklahoma Joe brand offset barbecue pit. Angela says with a smile that, "over this time he has mastered brisket and I enjoy eating it."

In November 2017 Angela was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a fatal brain cancer. In July 2018 she made the decision to discontinue treatment as the cancer had worsened and the outlook from available treatments offered little in the way of a better quality of life. Doctors say she has about six months to live. She passed away in August 2019

As a creative refuge, Rob fused his love of Angela - and his study and practice of barbecue - into the Pitmaster's Log Book a logbook where both professional and weekend pitmasters can document and perfect their efforts.
