Field notes
The project divides its material between an ordered fiction sequence and a mailbag answering barbecue problems. Its stated constraint is that the people and letters are invented, while the temperatures, times, and methods are intended for real pits; the homepage gives a twelve-to-sixteen-hour brisket range and links to a St. Louis rib guide at 250 degrees. The page also describes Dutch Cobb as a pen name.
