Recipes, traditions, & history
While it’s true this authentic collection comes from some of SC’s most renowned pitmasters, many are family recipes — some generations old — from SC’s best backyard and competition cooks. Sauces and rubs, meats, hash, sides, and desserts: each enjoys a dedicated chapter. Beyond the recipes, you’ll enjoy the histories and special features spotlighting the people who have made South Carolina barbecue what it is today.
Cookbook FAQs: What You Need to Know
Yes, a PDF version is available. Two options exist, actually. A standard edition and a “permanent edition.” They are both exactly the same, but the permanent edition entitles you to all future updates and improvements.
By the way, if you purchased the Permanent Edition version of the original ebook, your advanced digital copy of Going Whole Hog was sent to you on Fri, September 22. Note: if you ever unsubscribed from the email list, I am not legally able to send you those emails. Please contact me directly from the email address associated with your purchase.
It’s possible, but no real plans are in place at this time. Since this book is completely self-published, I don’t have a big company behind me to get them widely into local bookstores.
I have had a restaurant owner and two small shop owners ask if they could carry the books in their places, so that’s a possibility I’m looking into as I write this.
Also, I am offering an American-printed option on Amazon, as requested. The prices are very high (about $65) because it is printed in the US, via print-on-demand and Amazon takes a 60% royalty fee. Frankly, I don’t recommend buying on Amazon unless the American-made option is important to you…or if I run out of extras. Here is an email I wrote to our subscribers detailing the differences between the Amazon version and the version printed overseas.
Because I don’t really understand how best to set up international shipping, we’ll have to do a private sale. That means, you will go to our Etsy shop and message me on their platform. Inside the message, I can set up that private sale.
Nope. Truth is, despite 28 years as a high school teacher and a somewhat public presence online, I’m quite the introvert, and that just sounds painful to me. However, as I am most comfortable communicating with written words, I am more than happy to sign a book for you before I mail it to you. 😀

Here’s some of the feedback I received on the original edition. The new version is much expanded and much improved.
Admiration from North of the Border
This Tar Heel envies his Sandlapper neighbors. This is a magnificent tribute to y’all’s barbecue tradition. I wish there were an equivalent book about ours.
Of course, you don’t have to be a South Carolinian to read and cook some of the fabulous recipes here. My compliments to the chef. It’s worth every penny.
