Myron Mixon's book "Smokin'"

[concordeer]

Anyone read it? Picked it up at Barnes and Noble last night

I have it and have read bits and pieces.  I used a few of his recipes out of there.  Seems like a good read to me.

I read it cover to cover, it was a fun read. Some good information and used some of the basic recipes and made changes to my taste.

I got it last week and really enjoyed the read. I am heading to the store shortly to get what I need for a couple of his recipes

I bought this early last year and was very surprised at the way he prepared his brisket - relatively little cooking and LOTS of resting. It couldn't possibly work! could it? I tried it tentatively and was absolutely blown away by the result. I am now a convert to his method.

I am still not convinced though on his approach to using BBQ starter fluid and instant light charcoal and so continue to avoid these. The proof though is in his successful competition results...

I borrowed it from the library.  I didn't try out anything from it though.  I had a hard time believing that brisket recipe.  I'm glad to see someone here has tried it and it was successful.  Perhaps I should take another look at it.

I bought it in the fall, and tried some recipes. The peach beans are a big hit at all the parties.

I bought the book last fall and read it cover to cover.  I've used several of his recipes to include: Hog Glaze, Chicken Sauce, Hot Wings, and his Rib recipe, just to name a few.  He likes to cook hotter and faster than most but it obviously works for him.

Wow that's just the opposite of what everyone else says.  Does he allow the fluid to burn off or something specific??

I do not like him..AT ALL !

I have had the book for awhile. Just take it as a good read to see his ideas on outdoor cooking. Found better ideas, recipes and methodology here really. Think he puts on a bad a$$ face for the cameras and might be a nice guy off set, then again he might not be.

Myron lives about 50  miles from here.  After hearing him give a presentation, I wouldn't walk across the street to meet him.

I have his book, but found that it was not very helpful.  My wife gave it to me for Christmas, so I can't send it back to him.  Would if I could.

If you want some really good ideas from a regular kind of guy:

  very entertaining AND helpful.  I used his technique for ribs and had the best ribs I've ever cooked.

I just got it....I think some of those recipes are designed for competition BBQ. I am still scared as all hell to try that brisket technique. How can that possibly work? I bet it does tho.

The book is funny, a definitely Myron, and an interesting read. It has some good tips if you compete....I don't. Yet.

Rod Gray from Pellet Envy has a good brisket recipe as well.
