Editor's note: All summer long, the Southern Foodways Alliance will be delving deep in the history, tradition, heroes and plain old deliciousness of barbecue across the United States. Dig in.

The SFA is on a barbecue field trip right now, but this picture might tide you over. The all-you-can-eat buffet at Brown's Bar-B-Que in Kingstree, South Carolina, includes everything from barbecue and hash to sweet corn and squash. The vegetables come straight from the Brown family's farm.

Still hungry? Take a second to clear your mind, stare at this gorgeous image and imagine the heady, heavenly fragrance of wood and whole hog mingling all night long. The fire heats up as the sun goes down and cooking begins at Sweatman's Bar-B-Que in Holly Hill, South Carolina.

Today's installment comes from the lens of Denny Culbert, documentary and food photographer who's chronicled the highways and byways of South Carolina and North Carolina barbecue.
