Field notes
The project uses a two-track structure: a chapter-by-chapter nighttime barbecue story alongside a mailbag and technique articles. Its premise is unusually explicit about the boundary between invention and instruction: Dutch Cobb and the correspondents are fictional, while the listed temperatures, cooking times, and methods are presented for use on a real pit. Visible material includes a 250-degree St. Louis ribs piece and an overnight brisket chapter.
