The definitive guide to one of the most iconic barbecue
traditions--Carolina-style chopped pork--from the third generation
pitmaster of Sam Jones BBQ and the legendary Skylight Inn, featuring
more than 20 family recipes for large-batch barbecue, sides, and
desserts.
In the world of barbecue, Carolina-style pork is among the most
delicious and obsessed-over slow-cooked meats. Yet no one has told the
definitive story of North Carolina barbecue--until now. In Whole Hog
BBQ, Sam Jones and Daniel Vaughn recount the history of the Skylight
Inn, which opened in 1947, and share step-by-step instructions for
cooking a whole hog at home--from constructing a pit from concrete
blocks to instructions for building a burn barrel--along with two dozen
classic family recipes including cornbread, coleslaw, spare ribs, smoked
turkey, country-style steak, the signature burger, and biscuit pudding.
