- 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.

This guy is cut from a dying breed. The work ethic that goes into this is insane.
Can't rush perfection
timmy D= it’s a southern man thang
So true. You know they could get away with half that work and it still taste amazing.
I was thinking the same thing brother a dying breed, it's so refreshing to see this.
Cuz he loves what he does
You know your BBQ is good when people start acting like crack addicts to get a bite from your BBQ. LOL
probably some residual chemicals from what they use...
Cmon man, gimme dat skin, dont make me beg u now...
BBQ traphouse
@@treatb09 What chemicals? Where to buy?
I live in Albuquerque, we used to have an excellent barbecue place called The Cube. Damn good slow roasted barbecue, but it closed. We don't have nothing here but those damn chain restaurants or barbecue places that dry out the meat and had gobs of sauce to make soggy-ass meat that has no good barbecue flavor.
This dude really has to fight off meat tweakers.
Its amazing. Major respect.
Meat tweakers!!! 😂
Omfg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@vianka5549 🤣😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think that would be me if I lived near by smelling that delicious smoked HOG 🐷🐷
Yooooo this comment got me dead 💀 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.
That's awesome to hear. I bet everyone is enjoying your cooking too. What's better than good ppl and food!?..... Nada damn thing!
Great story! Even better that you give respect and credit.
This is beautiful!! You were moved and now there is love being spread
Now that's awesome!
That’s a beautiful story
Cutting their own wood, man these people deserve some serious respect.
It's all about enjoying the whole process. You control every aspect to get it just right.
was JUST thinking.. man, I don't think I can respect a man much more than this
@@djhart25 cause he cut his own wood lol?
Myke Mac deadass that’s kinda sad
@@sscnapoles9686 lol smh i wipe my own ass after i boo boo, he probably think im superman
“Say mannnn let me get a piece of skin mannnnnn!!!!...c’mon dont make me beg fo it!!!”😂😂😂
I DIED when the man said that 🤣
Mans soundin like he’s itchin for crack
@@6mtua6 some say that it's more potent than crack lmao
Pork crackle
Lmao
Just found out that Roosevelt "Rosie" Scott, Rodney's Dad, passed away Dec. 10, 2020. Rest Easy Big Man.
I’m certain he was a great provider.
RIP
Dang😔. Rip. Respect.
@@randallmohammad7040 wow I hacked my mum’s account
He taught his son and his son carries on what he learned. That is a testament to a great father
“And not to say so much about my name but I AM Solomon singleterry, gospel recording artist”. I don’t know why I love that part so much hahaha
Its amazing how fast a 13 minute video can fly by when you're so into the content.
jgfleet i was just thinking the same thing! I great story that makes u forget about how long the video actually was!
jgfleet: I was thinking the exact same thing. So into it, you look up and see it has to end. Bummer!😀
jgfleet 🙌🏽🙌🏽
hell i didnt even realize i had been watching it for 13 mins till you said it and i scrolled up lmao
I’m over here taking more notes than I ever did in school
Emailed him a few years back about how much I respected the effort he put into his craft. A short time later, I received an email back and we had a short conversation. Really cool dude.
But did he mail you BBQ?
The whole genuine process dedicated to it made me smile. Their whole demeanor doesn't come off fake either. Food making without heart and self in it is just nothing.
@@faizai228 well said!
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.
Bad Ass
That's an amazing story man. Now I'm definitely going to check this place out!
@@KJ-wx2su He isn't in Hemingway anymore.. He opened up his own place in Charleston
Rodney Scott is a national treasure, and that’s 100% full honest disclosure. This man has mastered this craft, and you’ll never find better pork bbq. Period.
In the US, perhaps.
@@BeardedDanishViking good luck
ate as his restaurant last year very overhyped
@@Anthony-dq7yb 👌🏻
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
You know, there's something to be said about a person who works with so much pride and passion. I definitely respect that... also I'm hungry now lol
When good at what you do you should be proud!
Daway Legit what do you mean by that?
Aren't Black American men Lazy & don't want too work
Frazier Out West with It - I know from personal experience that the new stories are not reality. This guy, especially, is much more typical. But he’s not hood and robbing people. So he won’t ever make the news. 
Frazier Out West with It stfu
The best part of the USA is this type of spirit in people. Hard working, caring, loving and HONEST people taking pride in their work and making people happy. Its that simple.
The Count of Toulouse Americans and honest? Don’t foll yourself
Yes, but sadly this is a dying breed of people. People are much too influenced by flashy obscene stuff now.
Yeah and very polite I find. Although I from UK. Something about rural america that is nice
Broad statement. It can be applied to any places yet you make it seem like the whole US have these lol.
True bro america is fake. Not all of ppl but big part of them.
Me and my wife took the 2 hr drive to go there on a summer Saturday. Stood in line for an hour. It all was worth it.
Just went to this spot… I couldn’t believe how good it was. Exceeded any and all expectations. You could taste the love and effort put into his food. Thank you, Mr. Scott.
I'm here bc I saw him on Netflix... He ended up losing everything in a 🔥 and did some pop up bbq spots and America supported him! That's the America I want to live in.
what" i'm about to find that documentary. thanks for sharing;
that america is totally possible... trust me, it's possible. i mean, imagine this man... ONE MAN bringing MAGA's and liberals together under one roof just to eat his BBQ. that's as american as it gets.
He has a new place. Watch bin appitite.
@@joeyclemenza7339 where did u see liberals???
He was on Netflix? Damn what's it called?
I drove 2 hours out of my way coming home from Bike week at Myrtle Beach to try this BBQ. I'm from the mountains of NC and I know good BBQ and I know all about down home hospitality. These people treated me like family. I'll definitely take that detour again and will never again consider it "Out of the way".
How was the BBQ?
@@nerychristian absolutely delicious
Ever chop down apple trees along the river and than smoke brisket for 16 hours everyday for 10 days for the Nebraska state fair keeping “good ole boys” fed.
Share the address. I wanna go
SS Officer of the Third Reich whooped yo ass 75 years ago bby 😘 #TurdRyke
I’m now back in Australia 🇦🇺 and boy do I miss that southern BBQ pork, these boys know their cooking and the good lord is blessing them with return customers. Can’t wait to go back and get my teeth into that fine bbq again before it’s too late. Well done guys.
It's about time that South Carolina got its recognition for barbecue. It's long overdue and a long time coming.
Give the pit master his own show he is a great host
I agree with that!
I agree he seems like a real nice dude :D
Completely agree!
Diego Martin Pintos Urzagaste this kind of reality tv is good for the country enough with the Kardashian and the apprentice sick of that garbage
I fucking love this guy. The whole scene looks so soothing and comfy it makes me want to move there
This is as American as it gets.
Anthony Brown this is the real deal bbq
Damn right
AGREED!
1000% true my friend
you god damn right!
I have so much respect for people like Rodney and Aaron, these guys are literally world famous, and nobody gave it to them, they worked their asses off because they wanted to make something that was the best that it could be, and they did.
You’ll probably find nobody ever heard of them outside outside their state
His books are on shelves nationwide and Amazon
THIS is American craftsmanship!!
You know it's the real deal when he starts mopping the meat.
He mops the floor with the same mop.
@@lijie6431 you can't get that thought out of your head, can you?
Kroatos no I can’t 🤢
That's what makes it tasty
No worries. Not been used in the rest room yet
This is the heart of America. Hard work and a great product as a result.
K V 🎖️best of the best!
@doc hall , what a positive person.
It just goes to show that hard work really does pay off. Great that he even cuts his own wood. Those that are prepared to do all jobs in their business makes a great boss.
@Cool C isn't it obvious to you?
More like the heart failure of America. Everybody also needs to start moving towards a plant based diet, quickly, not only for health reasons but for environmental reasons because if we don't the planet will die, and we will die with it.
YT wins again. This was amazing. I don't even eat meat, and I was glued the entire time. I love his passion, dedication and skill...
This young man is what makes this country, and more particularly the South, a great place to live.
You have to respect a guy who cuts and chops his own wood for Que
No doubt.
“With a touch of love.” You gotta loves southern USA.
This is one of the few video's I watch to make me smile when I get depressed.
It is a pleasure to see a Master work at his craft. People joke about "love" being the main ingredient - but in this case, I think it true. This man isn't just making a living, he is in love with the process. Thank you for letting me see you in action!
Can't help but respect a man who has mastered his craft. No matter the craft. But if it's BBQ - even better.
Wish I was raised with this man's core values. I admire him. He inspires me to be bettter
That's all you can do bud. Do better each day
B O B Spelled backwards jeez bro take a chill pill

@@aidansyracuse3338 This isn't the place for politics, but he is correct. Rather talk about food though.
I live 35 minutes from there and it's the best BBQ you'll ever have. Can't get enough of his BBQ
Interesting to see this "older" footage of Rodney Scott and his whole hog BBQ. He richly deserves the financial success and fame that have come his way over the past few years. It seems he was a class act from the beginning, and he continues to be one now. BBQ is love and he has been spreading the love for decades.
I stopped at Scott's last year when I was on my way home from Charleston to New Jersey. We got there around 230 and was one of the last customer's they served that day before they ran out of food. My wife and I sat in the car and ate the best BBQ we ever had and watched car after car pull up and the people throw their hands in the air after reading the sign on the door. Sold Out for the day. All tourist too. We saw license plates from Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Ohio. We giggled like school kids knuckle deep in BBQ 😂😂😂
@Kilo Mintoni
Well, it's like the good ol' saying:
*First come, first serve!*
Not good to rejoice at other people's agony
@@waqarghulam3548
Yeah, true, cause ya never know when the same could happen to you.
Anyways, God Bless!
Lol. Love it.
Haha 😂 thanks for sharing
Rodney seems like a genuinely great guy. I hope he is wildly successful long into the future.
he already did. he loves what he does.
charging only 8$ per pound not likely
@@fallendevonish1869 It depends how you define "wildly successful". He is working, his family is working and he's putting other people to work. He is allowing people of all backgrounds to afford to eat his food. He's humble, responsible and honest. As far as I'm concerned, he's wildly successful.
In Los Angeles we pay 3 times as much for BBQ and probably not even half as decent as what this guy is offering.
This man's work ethic is really special. He would be successful at any thing he attempted to do.
This is like the 19th time I've seen this video... and I love it every time. This is absolutely my dream job.
That's enough to make a grown man cry tears of joy, this man's BBQ is a beautiful thing
I've never met Rodney Scott but I love the man. His place is on my bucket list.
For sure!
Same here bro
Same
It’s worth it. Scott’s is 10 minutes down the road from me. I get my fill that’s for sure!
dhornjr1 for sure stopping through here on my next trip to Florida. Seems about as authentic American bbq as it gets. Always great to help out hardworking families.
I love how when they’re interviewing the gentleman’s guests, all of them are buying their dinner and buying some for their family’s. That’s beautiful. Southern hospitality is real. They share the love. That’s what Asian people do. I’m from Bangladesh and when we eat good food we always assume that we should buy some for our loved ones. These guys are the best.
Whenever I am nauseated with a poor appetite from dialysis treatments, I watch channels like this; and, my appetite goes through the roof!
I'm stoned and seriously contemplating getting in my car and driving to this place. I can make it there by 9:30am if I left in about twenty minutes.
Looks like its worth the drive!
UPDATE? Did you do it
Derek Jones did you go ?
@@patriciorazo3284 I never made it out of the driveway. :(
@@thadanzwiggler GO NOW! NOT TOO LATE!
I live in Charleston and trust me, his BBQ is legit
I wish I knew about this while I was stationed in goose creek
What town is he in. I'm heading to North Carolina next month.
Orlando Soto Charleston, SC
How does this guy gauge his hog tho without plugging in a thermometer to probe internal heat? Instinct?
I been there before and I love it!
I’m watching this TH-cam video all the way up in Copenhagen, Denmark & I feel just driving all the way down to get me some barbecue! I admire & respect all that hard work you all put into your craft. I wish I could taste your bbq - my mouth is already watering !
Thank you Mr. Scott! I wrote to you here 3 years ago and my gratitude continues. So few food establishments care about the product or the customer- it's a franchise for rich folks to invest in. That's all they know, money to make more money.
You renew my faith in the American idea, do what you love, and it's hard work, but rewards you every single day. You're inspiring life, family and amazing history are a gift to America and make me proud. Thanks again, someday I hope to get me some Scott's BBQ in person.
I really appreciate how there isn't any unnecessary background music and the video was kept simple yet everything from the start to the end of the bbq process was covered. And the folks in the video are really genuine and the pitmaster carried no pretence. Brilliant!!
Im Canadian. We don't have that type of q here. I watched this shaking my head. The skill, commitment, artistry is simply amazing. RESPECT. I would love to sit with these guys over a plate and pick their brains so I can transform my efforts.
I ate at Scott’s decades ago, I’ve never forgotten those flavors. I’d love to have something similar down here in South Texas.
You do it's called goldees lol maybe even better they don't just do pork.
@@gamerelated8985 I’m in South Texas. No Goldees down here in the RGV. I consider South Texas being South of San Antonio.
I never get tired of watching this video. There is nothing like good BBQ, which is ALWAYS pork. Nothing else will do.
This is beyond food. This is art.
Luis Moreno its actually just food...
The history is beautifully documented!
Luis Moreno I love it to
Luis Moreno
I call it Nirvana.
Andre , maybe just food . You don't get no better. There's an art to it!
Swung by this joint over the summer. There ain’t nothing like Scott’s BBQ in the whole world.
skylight inn
I guess you have not seen the whole world lol
Try goldees in Texas
I’m sure it’s a coincidence, but I like the fact that a guy whose last name is Woods donated a tree to Rodney so the wood can be used for barbecue in the wood.
My family grew up in Hemingway with Rodney still close today. This is best BBQ I had growing up visiting down south and anytime I tried someone else it was never as good. I always got crackling, Red Rock, and pulled pork. My family is the Mcgill’s
that is not barbecue. that is a beautiful work of fine art
That's what barbecue is. It's an art. It's a philosophy. It's a calling.
Bless this man and his family! As a European I'd be willing to visit the US just for one bite of this.
nbatweek 🍻
I live in North Dakota now, how I miss southern food and especially southern hospitality.
Done watched this like 10 times throughout multiple years and it still never gets old
No question, Stopped at Hemingway thanks to the Late Mr Bourdian. Met Roise and Ella, Rodney was at the other location that day but this right here was amazing. They actually let walk into the "garage " that afternoon , the smell was heavenly. I ate 2 servings of Q and Smoked chicken, a pint of the Love Sauce made it back to VA. Its all gone please send more ....just amazing !!!
I'm from Va also but have family a few towns away from Hemingway and spent all my childhood summers down there. Scott's was always a favorite. In the summer they used to have baskets of whole watermelon, super sweet and juicy.
@@johndodson6509 damnit man sand hills watermelon and cantaloupe to go with pit fired Bbq, whatchu talking bout. Good I tell ya... good
Holy crap. You know the foods good when people travel 45 MILES to get some.
or try to get some at 3 am
@Man In The Arena yeah in general 45 miles is short anywhere but its more about getting used to driving and the time it takes.
Or trying to break your door just to get it before 9:30
40 mins ain't much
How about driving 2hrs for it. Do it quite often
This right here is the pinnacle of BBQ. No two ways about it.
Can't wait to drive down for a pound and some skins. I was smiling with you brother because it's fun doing something you love. SC Born and raised :-)
As a native South Carolinian, I am proud of this family.
I don't understand how anyone can dislike this video. Man, there are some damn haters I swear wake up to dislike videos for a living.
Very humble, hard-working family putting out a quality product. Very cool.
They dislike it cause they can't taste the food 😲😛🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️

TH-cam brings the worst in people.
@@dcchavez97 And the best.
@@Sfcfan120 and those who are forbidden to eat pigs..
I am seriously contemplating a several hundred mile trip to Hemingway to get some of that bbq
This guy is a national treasure, scratch that, he is a global treasure.
This guy is badass. Best BBQ you can buy though and its only $8.00 a lb?! Thats dirt cheap!
he making me want to drive from tennessee and stock up lol
@@EstebonRocks I hear you on that.
ND and I'm starting to think buffalo ain't enough
To contrast, people would claim the most famous BBQ is Franklin's in Austin, TX. Their pulled pork is 22 dollars a pound.
@@MalleusSemperVictor Cost of a pound of BBQ has little to do with the taste of BBQ. I'm sure Mr.Scott could charge the same amount. To each their own.. BBQ is KING. Have a blessed day.
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.
This whole video is nothing but a calming vibe. I love watching someone who is passionate about their craft explain it so eloquently.
I Respect what you do for a living. Thank you Pitmaster.
"This is BBQ... At least around these parts."
Respect.
South Texas is where I stay, and although we have many people who love to pit one area against the other, each place has their landmark on BBQ. Each area has their style, and that's the beauty of it.
Instead of wondering what area is best, just accept the variety and enjoy. It would be boring if everybody adapted to one style because it was "the best".
I totally agree with you
Well said! I don't see how anyone can get bent outta shape over some good BBQ regardless if that's how they do it where you're from or not. Just enjoy the variety.
"Accept the variety and enjoy". Agreed 1,000%
Amen, brother! I love that BBQ Is different depending on where you are. I’m in NC, and we have two types (western and eastern). But I’ve had had about 7 different types , and they were all yummy!
Right...bbq is just like pizza, just depends on what part of this great country you’re in!
Lmaooo When they asked about the sauce he said “HAAAAA” as in a “wouldn’t you like to know😏”
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.
That's dedication !! What a family you have and a son who learned well. Thank you for the blessings you have served to all se folks who have stepped through your doors. May you live forever !! Old Dawg Dreaming , Fred.
The pride this man has for his bbq is inspirational
If I ever go to the USA I'd rather experience this instead of Disney friggan land.
slooob23 Disney is pretty sweet tho,.
im about ready to get in my truck and drive all the way to south Carolina from Disney ca land just to eat here
@@danietkissenle I'd love to experience an American road trip, you should do it!
@@slooob23 i would if i had the money
Damn straight!
Now THAT is a work ethic. Respect.
Such an inspiration to everyone. If this world were full of Rodney Scotts, it would be a damn good place.
Pure Barbecue in the purest sense of the word.
You'll never get rich doing this stuff the right way.
The incredible thing is-this family has NO interest in getting rich.
All that back-breaking work springs from one fountainhead.
LOVE.
FACTS!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I'd argue that the Scott family are rich, just not monetarily rich. They've got family, tradition, values and community. More than most have in these days.
Speaking of not getting rich their prices are amazing probably because of the community their in. I swore their prices would be jacked up because of the national exposure but it wasn't I felt guilty. I tipped the heck out of those nice old ladies working there
@Joe Martin
Shut up Joe...
I love the mans dedication to his craft
Love or spirit goes into everything we do, when our hearts are open, from cutting firewood to the barbecuing itself.
Amen 🙏 very strong hard working people absolute respect ✊ 🙏💯
Such pure passion for making amazing food. Nothing but respect.
Jayanth Kumar exactly
I'm in Africa trying to figure out how to get to Hemingway because I need to eat this mans food.
How's it going? Thought of a plan yet?
A little swim and a walk never hurt anybody. Just watch out for the sharks on the way.
Rexhart Why don´t you invite him over. He cpild show you some tricks of the trade.
Resourcefulness and passion. No phoney equipment or jargons involved. That is the real deal.
I highly appreciate seeing others who keep our traditions alive in the south. This isn’t easy work at all but what I see here is a man who takes pride in what he makes and hasn’t bent to new, modern and much quicker methods that will never be the same quality! I will always seek out little family eateries just like this one. These place support entire communities - especially here in south in areas that are often poor.
You’re a good man Mr. Scott, god bless you!
when he said "vinegar pepper base" my mouth started watering. looks incredible
me too
My family ancestry (the black side) hails from North/South Carolina and MANN how I miss that BBQ.
Ahhh Vinegar pepper based BBQ pulled pork, and then adding MORE vinegar pepper sauce on top... 😱 I MISS IT. Haven’t been out there in around a decade.
Nothing but respect for this man and his family. A true American serving the finest American food.
I just made a video program to respect for this man and Scott's family.I love his great passion for their craft.
💯💯💯
This is great. The art of creating good barbecue takes years to learn to do correctly. I am 100% in agreement that the sauce comes ON the barbecue when ordered - not added by the one eating it. There is nothing better than a good plate of barbecue! You and your family exudes intelligence and an incredible work ethic. Doesn't get better. Thanks and continued success.
whoever is editing these videos deserves a fucking Emmy, Nobel, and some BBQ.
Legend has it that Rodney still cuts his own woods... Cherry, Oak and at times Hickory... having a burning barrel making his own coals makin' the best fire possible to make devine meals for the people! THATS WHAT IT ABOUT MAN!
My mouth has never watered so much during a video!
I mean I must watch this video every couple months. The pure and intense passion when he speaks about his bbq. How can you hate it? God bless
Lordy! Lordy!
Rodney, you got my mouth watering like a hose!!
It's been YEARS since I had good ol Southern BBQ.
I used to live in Austin, TX (1962) and there was a BBQ place (actually a small store) on my home from work. It was owned by an old black gentleman, (probably about 75... not near as 'old' now that I'm 76). For 50 Cents/Lb I could get could (and always would) get a couple of pounds of brisket. I could take a bite, just let it sit on my tongue and it would just DISSOLVE and I'd swallow. I dearly hope that Heaven has food that tastes that good. IT WAS DELISHUS!!
If I ever have the chance to travel to your area of the country, I WII DROP IN AND ENJOY!
Thanks for the video.
Now... excuse me while I dry my mouth. :>) :>)
YourConscience
A true BBQ connoisseur right here
Ur a legend rest that man's soul doe
HOWDY!!!
I sure hope you get to fulfill your barbecue dream
Mad respect you can tell how passionate he is for BBQ this is art
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.
Their honesty, devotion, and dignity is moving. If I'm in the neighborhood, I will definitely stop by.
