    Thank you. I don't disagree, but as mentioned earlier, that was not the original focus of my research, so it does lack that broader context. Thanks again.

    Agreed. I actually read it, or at least parts of it, when I was researching my article. A must-read for anyone interested in BBQ history.

    And it is also very well written.

    I personally found the title of the article to be very telling as to what I would read in the content
    I was not disappointed.
    Thank you jroller and Troutman for the read and further enlightenment.

    I love history, and lately I've been really into food history. I find that there's tons of inspirations to be had when planning a cook from ancient times until now.

    A well written and researched piece, thanks for sharing. I like how you support several contentions with factual historical evidence.

    As Troutman discusses at length, I think the missing piece is the broader historical context. What we call BBQ in the US is a tradition as old as humans. Slow cooking meat using indirect heat and smoke goes back as far as humans go according to archaeologists.

    In another thread here in the Pit, I contend that what many are viewing as the peak of BBQ in the current time is really just another part of the very long innovation curve related to cooking meat for human consumption.

    Very enjoyable read, though.

    ...of my cookbook. Turns out, he was looking for info on whole-hog cookery, but that's when I first got to "know" him.

    Adrian's book came out kind of in that in-between time after I had done all the research I cared to do, but before I started writing. I debated purchasing it, but held off because I was certain it would send me down another rabbit hole and I needed to get my piece done so I could, in turn, work on my cookbook update that I hope to be done with (won't happen) this month. Interestingly enough, I first became aware of Mr. Miller when I noticed someone @soulfoodscholar purchased the first edition...

    Great info. You're right, my focus was limited. Conyer's challenged me to look at one aspect of barbecue, not its overall evolution. In fact, my working title for the piece all along was "African American Contributions to BBQ" so that provided the framework for my research. You can even sense that focus in the intro. I edited the final title for publication, which I'll admit suggests the focus might have been wider. Thanks again for the kind words and the additional info.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.
