Meat Smoking and Smokehouse Design by Stanley Marianski (Aug 1 2009) Paperback

This complete reference on curing, smoking, and cooking meats delivers the technical know-how behind preparing meats and sausages, explaining differences between grilling, barbecuing, and smoking. The sections on smokehouse design include more than 250 construction diagrams and photos.

Great review: Almost too much information. I’ve been smoke cooking and smoking meats for years, and never understood the principles behind what I was doing. There’s a vent on the bottom, and a vent on the top. What’s the difference? Now I know. The book is based on eastern European smoke houses, which is fine, but the carefully explained principles apply to any cooking method that involves fire and smoke, whether it be BBQ, roasting, hams, summer sausage and more. They explain the difference between Cold Smoking, Hot smoking and in between and what is good and bad for each . Very well written in plain language that is easy to understand. It explains how some smoke treatment is a preservative and other smoke treatment is a flavoring agent. Most importantly is explains the difference, explains the advantages and limitations and lists how to achieve either condition. It also knocks down the pie in the sky assumption that all smoke is created equal :) Cool smoke is required for long term preservation. But cool smoke is not able to be produced if the outside air temperature is already hotter than your target smoke temperature. You either have to wait until wintertime or work during night time hours if you arent ready to spend the thousands of dollars for smoke heat regulators that is.

This writing describes the abuse and tribulations of a young girl growing up in backwoods Mississippi in the 1950’s. It is a horrid tale of a child coping with rejection and deprecation with an unbelievable resilience and an incredible determination to finally overcome.
