Who has this book??

[Deer Meat]

I'm curious how many folks on here have this book?

I have considered buying it, but it seems a little pricey

just wondering if it is worth the cash.

Brian,

Buy the book! I first bought the book in the early 80's and have bought several new editions since. The cover you show is the current edition and probaly close to the last.

Rytek Kutas died a few years ago and his brother Ben took up the torch and completed the third edition. The book has been widely accalimed by folks far more knowledgeable than me.

All I can say is that everytime I have had a question or a point of curiosity about anything dealing with sausage this book has held the answer.

Again...BUY IT!

If you have specific questions about the book I will cheerfully answer them. The book is sitting on my desk right next to the computer!
Cheers!

Just how much is too much??

 

[Deer Meat]

Thanks monty, If it is as good as you say I trust your opinion.

Here it is on Amazon with free shipping

Amazon seems to have the best price. I bought mine through Barns & Noble. Their list as the same as the SausageMaker Site at $29.95 but I belong to their "club" and paid $23.96 and got free shipping.

Just a little more about the book. It covers:
Curing
Smoking
Storing
Game Meat
and so much more! This book is one heck of an investment for newbie or pro!

Cheers!

 

[Deer Meat]

Thanks blackhawk, that price is better than I have seen elswhere.

 

[flash]

Oh well, tried to IM you about that, but Blackhawk posted. Good deal.

 

[Deer Meat]

Thanks for the IM flash, I found one on ebay for just under 20 bucks.......and I bought it.

 

[monty]

Good deal, Brian!

You WILL enjoy and make great use of that huge source of information!

Happy for ya!

Cheers!

good deal, but it depends also on what version you got on ebay, the newest was just released around feb or so, Rytek passed away during the revision and his brother finished it up adding some extra stuff as well, I have the new revision and it's worth every single penny.....

 

[Deer Meat]

Ya smoked I checked it out, it is the newest version.

Thanks everyone.

It's a great book one of the best I have purchased! You will enjoy it.

The guy is the sausage god. Buy it. I paid 35 for it and I'd pay double if I had to.

Good deal on a great book, awesome amount of info and how too's, and worth much more than what you paid ,IMHO.

DeerMeat, I purchsed this book awhile back with the VHS tape. You get a combo deal if you purchase the book w/either the VHS Tape or the DVD. It's a great book and worth the money. Tons' of recipies, techniques, methods etc... I was on DeeJay Debbys site (excuse the Typo if im wrong) has a ton of recipies too. Actually similar to Rytek Kutas book. I am not saying that is a copy though. Money well spent.

Thanks for the posts! You guys have "flung a craving on me." I've been thinking of trying to make sausage for a while now. And with this thread, I read the reviews etc. (also on Amazon.com) and ordered the book. I'll keep you posted on how it all turns out. Thanks for the nudge.

[deejaydebi]

Well Coach I'll take that as a compliment Seeing how my site was going and recipes up long before I got Rytecks book as eveidence buy my posts. I guess if it ever gets questioned I have this forum as proof.

You will like the book. It has a lot of info that you may or may not use. Then after you have read the book, djdebi has a web site to go to.
