With that said, Rocksteady, welcome aboard. I would encourage you to enjoy the journey rather than just try to find the best destinations. Getting involved with this site and the people on it can be a heck of a ride. My journey has been one that I never could have imagined:
Cooking at eggfests.
Getting invited by other Eggheads to spend a weekend butchering a hog.
Getting invited to send money every month for my 1/6 share of 4 mangalitsa pigs that we raised.
Getting invited to butcher the pigs, getting my share of premium cuts (including prosciutto that took over 2 years) and sausages - and learning how to make sausage.
Getting invited to borrow an Egghead's boat for 3 days and take it 40 miles across the bay to a barrier island in the Gulf.
Because of what I learned here I impressed a friend who introduced me to some of the best competition BBQers around.
They taught me more.
My boss asked me to cook for 150 of the most respected people in the world in my line of work and I pulled it off with flying colors. It has been 3 years, but I just learned 2 days ago that the best trauma surgeons in Argentina and Columbia still say that my BBQ is the best they've ever tasted but they feel that they can't say that in their home countries - so they just tell my boss every time they speak to him.
A competition BBQ friend let's me borrow his giant (can hold 20+ briskets) smoker to cook for my coworkers.
Another friend I've met through these circles gave me a XXL egg and provides me with unlimited free beef from his Wagyu/Angus cows.
I've learned enough about making sausage that I was able to do it without my Egghead mentors (with the exception of one Zoom meeting).
So, you're not wrong for looking for a place with the best recipes - but recognize that new ones come along regularly if you hang around here (I had never heard of Bo Ssam until a couple of months ago). With that said, you might want to compile them, give appropriate credit for their origins, and share them with the rest of us.
Again, welcome aboard.

This one has a recipe for British Kingdom Baked Beans (BKBB) that's really pretty awesome. We use it all the time. It just has a tang to it that's a little different, but damn is it good.

I'm not aware of a singular recipe book or collection. There are some great ones on this and related sites if you search for them.
I have probably gotten more advice/insight and recipes from this site than any single book or web site. Also, when someone posts a recipe, you often get comments for tweaks/variations that you would not in a book.

+1.
Given the breadth and scope of food blogs/websites/etc. available, its hard to identify a single book as a complete resource.
This forum, in particular, runs the gamut of all kinds of cooking techniques, styles, cuisines... you name it.

Good time to remind all to post your location at the signature line please.
Welcome Rocksteady to the forum. Use this as that is the reason it’s here.
Ps don’t buy the Big Green Egg cookbook unless it’s on a $1 countertop

Car Wash Mike's ribs Green lightning shrimp Salado afterparty brisket chili Mickey's coffee rub for spatchcocked turkey or chicken Bo Ssam pulled pork Yukon Ron's peach pork etc
Thank you, these were the exact type of recipes I was looking for, the legendary stuff that always floats around, I wish these were centralized somewhere.
Green lightning shrimp look phenomenal, the kind of flavour that really wows your guests and not overly complicated, plus cilantro is my favourite herb.
Mike’s ribs, definitely have to try that technique, I did ribs previously with the 3-2-1 or whatever it’s called.
Now that Bo Ssam pulled pork, now that looks like something so special, a welcome change from just salt and pepper, I know the kids will love it too, do you serve that in a regular hamburger bun or do you do any toppings? Or sauce for the buns?
From what I see, there are several threads reposting these recipes, but is there like a centralized collection where I should be referencing that particular take on it?
Thanks for everything.

The green lightning shrimp is a great cook and justifiably popular.
I think this thread may be the first time it appeared on this forum (could be wrong as I didn't really do a deep dive):
You MUST be joking. Forum laughingstock perhaps. I wouldn't give 10¢ for a Raichlen book.
Now, now.... Some of us DO light our Eggs with paper.
Jokes aside, a Raichlen book was the first bbq book I owned and I often still make rubs from it. I think the disdain for Raichlen generally originates from the reports of photo use.

Can we stop this charade already. Raichlen is Bob Ross. Bob Ross didn’t die, he’s just fully retired his painting persona and repurposed his brushes for sauces and marinades. The double life was wearing on him.

Sounds plausible. They do seem to have at least one thing in common - a fine palette/palate.

I still like Smoke and Spice by Jamison and Jamison. Great for flavoring ideas. Just ignore their recommended internal temps.
Southeast Florida - LBGE In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself.

Not sure about a double life for Bob Ross as this recent article indicates one was complicated enough...

Some of the bo swam cooks posted here (most?) are based on Momofuku’s/David Chang’s recipe :
I kinda liked the one below, I suspect it may have been written by someone here on the forum:

Looks like he may have just released a new book dedicated to sides?
EDIT: Seems it may be the recipes he's already published in his previous cookbooks.
