Best Whole Hog BBQ in Charleston
Whole-hog BBQ is the soul of South Carolina's BBQ tradition — a practice rooted in the Gullah-Geechee foodways of the Lowcountry and the Pee Dee region. A whole hog, cooked low and slow over live hardwood coals for 12–24 hours, is the ultimate test of a pitmaster's patience, skill, and fire management. These are Charleston's finest whole-hog destinations.
