ReviewsThe hallowed tradition of BBQ is in a world of turmoil, but chefs like Elliott Moss, combining a respect for history with an innovative approach to flavor, will carry on this precious torch for the next generation. The BBQ hash alone is worth the drive to Asheville, no matter where you live., Rife with authenticity and a genuine care for community, this book is an honest and open account of Moss's journey to opening Buxton Hall, filled with recipes that will soon be traditions in your own kitchen., The fire that burns in Elliott is contagious. He is my brother, my mentor, and a constant inspiration. The work it takes to get where he is now breaks most people, and Elliott is thriving. This book is pure love., Elliott's grandparents must be proud. Raised on chicken bog and whole-hog barbecue, the self-taught chef has carried that torch into the twenty-first century with a menu of wood-cooked meats and vegetable sides that taste like full-color updates to faded Southern classics. Now, he's bringing his cooking back home. These recipes are timeless. Read and learn., " Buxton Hall Barbecue's Book of Smoke respectfully and thoughtfully approaches smoke as an ingredient, and hardwood coals as a magically shapeable source of heat. [Moss's] focus on vegetable cookery and its relationship to coals and meat shines as brightly as his glistening and cherished whole hog. There's something for everyone to learn from in these pages, and my favorite takeaway may be the sense of community that Elliott and Team Buxton put into all of their endeavors, from the wild ride of opening and running a restaurant to the age-old practice of barbecue." - Ashley Christensen, chef/proprietor AC Restaurants "Elliot's passion for food is equal to his passion for people.
