Written in South Carolina by a South Carolinian who has rubbed elbows with the best pit masters and who has sat at the tables of the many BBQ restaurants in South Carolina doing his homework. This book provides not just recipes but the background into how the recipes came about with a clear insight into the history of South Carolina BBQ. The beautifully presented cookbook is written in a well organized format, complete with QR codes for additional on-line content. The recipes are presented in an easy to read and executable format. I have tried a couple of recipes from the sides section and find the recipes easy to make and divisible for fewer servings. If you have ever thought to try your hand in whole hog BBQ, or just need a new twist on everyday dishes, this book is a must purchase. As a bonus, this book contains instructions for a simple temporary pit construction along with the complete prepping of the hog. Need help, follow the QR codes as a how-to guide. Don’t want a whole hog, grab a pork butt and give this book a try. This will be your go-to-book for all things in South Carolina barbecue or a guide to some of the best BBQ South Carolina has to offer. Just make the purchase, you won’t be disappointed.
