Nothing special, very dissapointed, needs an editor,
This review is from: Smokin' with Myron Mixon: Recipes Made Simple, from the Winningest Man in Barbecue (Paperback)
As a BBQ lover and enthusiast, I was pretty excited that Myron was putting out a book and actually pre-ordered the book a couple weeks before it's release. But, unfortunately, aside from a bunch of southern accent text, I don't think he played much of a role in almost any of this book. At least I hope not. I would be a little embarrassed putting out such a poor quality book. Some of the recipes are way off like the rib marinade... It asks for 2 whole cups of salt and that is on top of the soy sauce for about 4 liters of marinade. It will ruine your ribs and you will have to throw them out. This coming from the "winningest man in BBQ"?? And the book doesn't fall short of pumping up Myrons ego. Half the book talks about how great he is. The actual recipes themselves are with mistakes. They spent so little time on proof reading this book that there are many spots where they just cut and paste the exact same directions from one part of the book to another. In fact they even forgot to change the name of the meat in one cut and paste hack job. I think it was in the beef brisket recipe, that the directions were indicating what to do next to the ribs !! ... So after finding mistakes so obvious like this, it is really hard to believe that any of the information is very accurate. And Myron, I really can't believe you put your name to this book without reading it. I can't say you don't know BBQ, no one can say that I don't think but as for this book, it would have been more useful left as the tree it was and used in your bbq firebox... Hope your next one is better.

good not great,
This review is from: Smokin' with Myron Mixon: Recipes Made Simple, from the Winningest Man in Barbecue (Paperback)
Thats what it is, good , but not great. Mike Mills book is better.Commercial book for Myron, good to begin with but doesn't help you to grow up in BBQ if you know your way.

Recipes from the Master of his Ego,
This review is from: Smokin' with Myron Mixon: Recipes Made Simple, from the Winningest Man in Barbecue (Paperback)
I used to think that Myron Mixon was the king of BBQ. This book has great recipes, but, also some serious typos. One recipe I tried was his Award Winning Whistler Buger, turn out to be the worst thing I have ever had! When I spoke to a friend who also had the book, we talked about the recipe. Well, apparently my copy of the book had typos, and two were in this recipe. Example, 1 pound of beef with 3 Tablespoons of Kosher Salt. Yes, I followed it, as there was a rub with the salt, and 3 Tbls of the rub in the the burger mixture. Worst thing I ever ate. So much that I contacted Myron, and told him of the experiance, and he begrudgingly sent me a new book, COD! I refused it, and Myron just blamed the mounties. Nice. Well, after UPS took off the COD, I looked at the book, and it was the exact same, with the same typos. Myron said he did all he could do.Someone told me that Myron was an a-hole. And frankly, after this experiance, I agree. He cares nothing about his reputation, or his customers.
