The One True Barbecue: Fire, Smoke, and the Pitmasters Who Cook the Whole Hog

â€œFor anyone interested in the origins, history, methods and spectacle of whole-hog barbecue, this book is essential reading...Fertel leaves readers hungry not only for barbecue but also for the barbecue country he so engagingly mapsâ€ (The Wall Street Journal).

In the spirit of the oral historians who tracked down and told the stories of Americaâ€™s original bluesmen, this is a journey into the southern heartland to discover the last of the great roadside whole hog pitmasters who hold onto the heritage and the secrets of Americaâ€™s traditional barbecue.

In The One True Barbecue, Rien Fertel chronicles the uniquely southern art of whole hog barbecueâ€”Americaâ€™s original barbecueâ€”through the professional pitmasters who make a living firing, smoking, flipping, and cooking 200-plus pound pigs.

More than one hundred years have passed since a small group of families in the Carolinas and Tennessee started roasting a whole pig over a smoky, fiery pit. Descendants of these original pitmasters are still cooking, passing down the recipes and traditions across generations to those willing to take on the grueling, dangerous task. This isnâ€™t your typical backyard pig roast, and itâ€™s definitely not for the faint of heart. This is barbecue at its most primitive and tasty.

Fertel finds the gatekeepers of real southern barbecue-including those we tend the fire at legendary spots like Bumâ€™s, Wilberâ€™s, Sweatmanâ€™s, Gradyâ€™s, the Skylight Inn, and three different places named Scottâ€™s-to tell their stories and pay homage to the diversity and beauty of this culinary tradition. These pitmasters are now influencing a new breed of chefs and barbecue enthusiasts from Nashville to Brooklyn.

To quote Serious Eats: The One True Barbecue is â€œOne damn good book about American barbecue.â€
