Thanks for the heads up...picked up a copy. Shipping was more than the cost of the book...not eligible for Amazon Prime, but still only $9.

Thanks for the headsup, got a copy coming :thumb:

[16Adams]

Saw shipping costs but my thinking some history and one or two solid recipes it’s worth <$10. That said I didn’t order as I ordered a North Carolina book yesterday. The only bad review I saw had to do with the condition the book arrived in, not the content.

Thanks Adams. Just ordered a copy...

[PatAttack]

Less than $9.00 seems like a good deal.

Got one.

[ForingersQ482]

Thank you! Just put it in the cart!

Appreciate the heads-up on the book sale.

You’ll get a chuckle. Old topic gets kicked around every winter.

My Lang Tru-Tel was installed in Nahunta , GA. Sometimes ya gotta set boundaries.

LMAO...I saw this article yesterday and I have to be honest...politics aside someone who lives in NC should really know better than to put on such a charade.

Thanks Adams, just ordered a copy. Thank You for the heads up!

[drunkenmeatfist]

Count me in as well. For less than $9 how could you not order it?

[16Adams]

well dang, I'm in as well.

[farmer-fred]

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered a copy.

[IamMadMan]

Thanks for the tip Adams.....


At that price, I can just pass it on if i don't like it.

I ordered the Sam Jones Whole Hog yesterday. I have no plans to ever cook a whole hog, but the author Daniel Vaughn is the BBQ editor at Texas Monthly and author of The Prophets Of Smoked Meat. I really enjoy his writing style. It was down to $16 yesterday

The whole hog book is fantastic. One day I’m going to do it. Read a friend’s book. Waiting to find a copy on sale

And the banana pudding is killer. The recipe starts like this : “my momma’s recipe. So good you’ll want to rub it all over your face.” If that doesn’t say “make me” nothing else does.

I disagree with eating it warm like it says. Once chilled, woah!

[Stingerhook]

Mine is on it's way Adams, thanks.

Golly....ordered the NC book in OP and this whole hog one as well. I think these are the 4th or 5th books I’ve bought in the last year from your posts :razz: I should get around to reading them all at some point.

[HogGrog]

I bit, nice cast.

You can't go wrong with this book...I've spent a whole night cooking a hog with Sam Jones and he's an absolute riot...his method of story-telling is absolutely hysterical. He had me laughing like a clown for probably 8 hours straight. I was at his book signing event the day the book was released and it was a lot of fun. They did a buffet style menu with a lot of the foods from the book and for the most part it was great. That corn-muffin is incredible!
I just can't say enough nice things about Sam. He still owes me a "whole hog class" one of these days.

[16Adams]

I’ve seen Mr Jones in numerous YT Videos. His story in his voice -mannerisms etc & family history in barbecue is really cool. I’ve enjoyed those Videos immensely

[Moose]

Thanks for the tip on this, Adams! Ordered mine last evening and looking FW to reading.

[Kevin James]

Sweet. Just ordered a copy. Thanks for the heads up!

[lunchman]

Thanks Adams. I'm in as well.

[16Adams]

Received Jones/Vaughn Whole Hog today. Anyone showing shipped yet?

[SMetroHawkeye]

Thanks for the reading tips, Adams... ordered them both, but worried that Whole Hog said only 1 copy left... we’ll see if it ships (they took my money quick enough, though...)

[16Adams]

This morning looks like Southern Smoke still available and Whole Hog May have dropped in price again

[Jlems]

Thanks for the post! Bought mine yesterday.

[Callahan-que]

Southern Smoke is now $3.95 +3.99 shipping, says only 18 left.

[cclinard1]

Have made the 1hr trip from my house up to Garland several times. Matthew is a great guy. The book is awesome and well thought out. Collard chowder is one of my favorite things in it. Glad a lot of you guys are picking it up!

[BigThicket]

Ordered. :thumb:

[Cat797]

I just ordered both.......thanks for the head's up!

[WeberWho]

Ordered. Thanks!

[TBASS]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm from the Piedmont region of NC. I'm looking forward to checking it out.

[SmoothBoarBBQ]

Got my book yesterday and finally finished reading through it and perusing the recipes. Overall not a whole lot in there which appeals to me, but I do want to try his recipe for Mac&Cheese, and that Red Rice looks and sounds amazing.

I don't feel like this book has many ties to BBQ or even grilling...90% of the recipes are cooked in the oven, a skillet, or a dutch oven. His recipe for Memphis BBQ sauce is a bit confusing as well...just lists "vinegar" as an ingredient...not sure if that's Apple Cider Vinegar, Distilled White Vinegar, Rice Wine Vinegar, Red Wine Vinegar, etc...in a cookbook you should certainly be a bit more precise with terminology.

[TC Smoke & Que]

Got my copy yesterday and have enjoyed what I read / scanned so far. Several recipes I am looking forward to trying and as always, love the back story of the authors life around BBQ. Some of those recipes bring back some fond memories of living in Va./N.C. area.
Thanks Adams for the suggestion of the book!

[WilliamKY]

My copy arrived yesterday and after reading and skimming a few pages I quickly ordered another to give as a gift. Very nice book and the recipes look like pure soul warming goodness.

[creek bottom]

Mine showed up Tuesday. From what I've read/skimmed over so far it looks pretty good. I don't necessarily agree with all of his technique, but it's an interesting read. The recipes look good anyway...

[GA1dad]

Me too,,, thanks for the heads up.

[sudsandswine]

Got mine today, starting with Whole Hog BBQ. I like buying barely used hardcover books for $5 each :thumb:

The Pickled Shrimp recipe in Southern Smoke page 93 (photo on page 94) is really close to a Holiday dish Mom called Dill Shrimp. It was my Dad’s favorite. It’s really good

The Lemon Blueberry Pie May get a test as well

I guess a postal worker is reading mine. It should have delivered Wed. I checked the tracking number, and it was received in Nashville, 120 miles away on Monday and has not moved since. Maybe they will finish it soon. Been looking forward to reading it since you first posted.
