LOVE THE LOCAL FLAVOR

The local “flavor”and the variety covered is what I liked most about the cookbook. It’s a great collection of SC BBQ recipes that are necessary for any of us backyard smokers. If you’re on the fence, just know it’s affordable…and be sure to get the lifetime updates.

INTERESTING READING

This cookbook was interesting reading on facts If you want to know more about regional BBQ, buy it. Worth the price. I prefer mustard sauces, make my own and always looking for ideas to make it better. However, I’m not sold on that BBQ was invented in SC.
