Average rating: Stars

Limited Value

This book tries to cover everything and succeeds at very little. It covers everything from how to build a smoker from a used refrigerator to recipes. But.. none of these topics are covered extensively or very well.

The illustrations are weak; the recipes are very weak; and, the general process discussions are haphazardly organized.

I bought this book on the strength of the other reviews, but am very disappointed.

My Old Buddy

I purchased this book WAY back in the late 70's when I was a meat smoking fool. Many years have past since those smoky days and now I find that I'm back at it again. (Smoking meat that is)Sadly my old copy of this book did not withstand the rigors of time...May it RIP! I was THRILLED when I found my old trusted friend listed here on Amazon.

This is a GREAT book if you're just starting or if you've been doing the smoking thing for years. You get recipes for different kinds of brines, seasonings, basting techniques and just about anything else you'll need to know for smoking.

This is a MUST HAVE book IMO! You can't beat the detailed in depth instructions on how to smoke and cure just about anything. I'm glad to see that after all those years this book is still right on top, this speaks volumes of how good a book it really is.

Ciao!
