basically it is a resource that everyone who is practicing the art of smoking foods needs to have. no sense in re-inventing the wheel, people have been smoking food since they "invented" fire. might as well use someone else's guidelines for avoiding botulism as well as bad ideas.
here is a link to amazon - and hey it's on sale for 13.57!

Just ordered the book, since I was placing an order through Amazon anyway . . . great price, and if RH is right it's a bargain.  I'll try to read through it in August and chime in with my thoughts, too.

I have that book. I could be wrong, haven't check out the book for several months, but I found their cures/brines to have way too much salt for my needs. I also found their instructions vague, and occasionally inaccurate. I did use one of their marinades for smoked duck, which came out alright. Right now it is packed away in one of several boxes. When I dig it out, I'll give it a second look.
