Home Book of Smoke Cooking: Meat, Fish & Game
Product Description
Discusses smokers you can build or purchase and gives tips on how to run them for optimum results. Various fuels to use are mentioned as well. There is also a chapter on brines and seasonings, and several chapters on how to smoke different foods, including turkey, cheese, sausage, fish, beef, nuts, wild game, and much more.
I didn’t need a book that was so basic. I paid only $0.78 used and feel jipped.

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!

I’ve owned this book since 1972, then gave it to a friend. Now ordering another. Excellent fish brine! Unfortunately there is no index and a confusing “table of contents” but after I’ve brined and smoked over 1000 lbs of salmon/stugeon with rave reviews I would say it is a book worth the cost. A great seasoned salt recipe is also included.

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.
