Rodney Scott's World of BBQ

Born and raised in the smoke, built the hard way.

Rodney Scott has been cooking whole hog barbecue since he was eleven years old, and this book is everything he’s learned along the way. Rodney Scott’s World of BBQ brings that South Carolina smokehouse tradition straight into something you can actually work with—whether you’ve got a full setup or just a grill and some ambition.

Inside, you’ll find the staples done right—ribs, chicken, sides, and the kind of recipes that don’t need reinventing—along with the techniques that make the difference. Fire control, meat prep, timing… the stuff most people skip over is front and center here.

Co-written with Lolis Eric Elie, it also digs into the roots of Southern barbecue, giving you the why behind it all—not just the how.

This is the kind of book you cook from, learn from, and keep coming back to.
