  • Rodney Scott cooked his first whole pig at 11 years old, sealing his fate to become a barbecue pit master. Today, he runs the pit his parents - Roosevelt and Ella - opened in a converted garage in 1972: Scott's BBQ, in Hemingway, South Carolina. Watch the video above from the Southern Foodways Alliance to learn more.

    Mr. Scott, I am watching this video again and getting somewhat emotional. Years ago, I watched this, or you appeared on the Man Fire Food show and I thought "I can do that." You inspired me to build my own pit and I have done an annual neighborhood BBQ right here in Apex, NC, with a 100 pound hog for 6 years. Had 120+ people in 2019. You literally inspired me and added a great dimension to my cooking and my life. Thank you.

    Visited Rodney in SC at his shop last week. Being a traveling professional Chef from California, I can honestly say it was a life changing experience. The Hog was that good..... not to mention Rodney's attitude toward sharing his knowledge and his amazing hospitality while I was there. Got to tour the pit room after lunch and learned so much. He signed a copy of his cookbook for me which I am sure will see much use.

    My grandmother made this for years up until her death, as I now watch this video as an older man, it makes me appreciate the love and effort that she put in to make that delicious pulled pork bbq. What they're doing is a dying craft with the younger generation, and I can only hope that someone will carry on the traditions of our ancestors.

    I am going to retire my grill and move south. I can sometimes tell how good something will be. This will be amazing. I have slow smoked ribs on my smoker all day on a day off. If I did this for a living I would not need a day off. I would do this in a heartbeat. Thank You, God Bless.

      When I come back to Florence to see my people I make the drive over to Hemingway. I agree from Louisiana for me, 14 hours of driving. No regrets when I take that first bite.

      Do they sell ribs too or just the pulled pork and skins?

    Cutting his own wood? It's already a tough job I assume. My respect for this guy is enormous. Would love to try his food one day.
