What Folks Say about

Front cover of the Going Whole Hog cookbook

This is Absolutely the Best Book on Barbeque!

The things I like about this book are the stories, histories, and recipes. Comparing recipes was most enjoyable. Great book! I would tell any SCBBQ fan to go ahead and get this book. I bought another one after receiving the first one to gift to a BBQ enthusiast.
