They provide detailed instructions for cooking barbecue at home, along with recipes for the traditional array of side dishes that should accompany it. The final section of the book presents lively profiles of some of the people who cook barbecue for a living, recording firsthand what experts say about the past and future of North Carolina barbecue.Filled with historic and contemporary photographs showing centuries of North Carolina's ""barbeculture,"" as the authors call it, ""Holy Smoke"" is one of a kind, offering a comprehensive and entertaining exploration of the Tar Heel barbecue tradition.
