Smoke & Salt: Preserving Food Without a Fridge

When a late-season hurricane floods the only road out of his Blue Ridge hollow and kills the power, homesteader Elias Ward has seventy-two hours to save seven hundred pounds of food. He fights back the way his grandfather did: with salt, smoke, and air. Every technique in this fast-paced survival thriller is real and practical — hot versus cold smoking, curing safety, drying, and root cellaring — taught through the story, then explained step by step in the appendix, plus a no-fridge preservation checklist. Book 17 of the Survive the Wild series by Mr.Lord.
