Everyday Barbecue: At Home with America's Favorite Pitmaster: A Cookbook
“Barbecue is a simple food. Don’t mess it up.”
As the winningest man in barbecue, a New York Times bestselling cookbook author, and a judge on the hit show BBQ Pitmasters on Discovery’s Destination America, Myron Mixon knows more about smoking meat than any man alive. And now he’s on a mission to prove to home cooks everywhere that they can make great barbecue any day of the week—in the comfort of their own backyard or kitchen, no matter their skill level. Across the country at competitions and in his Pride & Joy Bar-B-Que restaurants, Mixon has proven that no other pitmaster’s food can touch his when he’s behind a smoker. But he doesn’t need fancy equipment to do it: He can cook delicious barbecue with any grill, smoker, or oven, even on the busiest weeknight, and you’ll be able to, too, with the nearly 150 recipes in Everyday Barbecue. Armed with Mixon’s advice and tips, you’ll discover that barbecue isn’t just for the Fourth of July and Labor Day; it’s for any day you feel like cooking it. So fire up your grill and get ready to cook incredible barbecue favorites such as Ribs the Easy Way, Myron’s Dr Pepper Can Chicken, and The King Rib sandwich and adventurous backyard fare like Pork Belly Sliders and Barbecue-Fried Baby Backs, plus leftover inspirations, delectable deserts, and even some drunken recipes!

• The Essentials: Turning any backyard grill into a smoker—Brisket the Easy Way, Ribs the Easy Way, The Only Barbecue Sauce You Need
• Burgers and Sandwiches: Classic Hickory Smoked Barbecue Burger, The King Rib, Barbecue Pork Belly Sliders, Brisket Cheesesteaks, Barbecued Veggie Sandwiches

Praise for Everyday Barbecue
“Mixon does an admirable job of showing grillers, smokers, and barbecuers how they can turn labor and time-intensive grilling and barbecue projects into weekday meals with a minimum of fuss in this to-the-point collection of 150 smoke-centered recipes. . . . It’s his ingenious use of leftovers that will make readers take notice as he offers suggestions for mountains of leftover brisket, pulled pork, or chicken. This approach—rather than a multitude of variations on ribs, pulled pork and a bevy of sauces—sets the book apart and make it a keeper.”—Publishers Weekly

acceptable recipes but inconsistent and riddled with errors. from p22 "Hey, you don't think I've forgotten my first love: making money!" Recipes are variable; the cornbread is too salty & lacking in flavour and texture, recommending all-purpose (plain) flour without any rising agent.
a better book is Mike Mills' Peace love and BBQ

Prior to this book I would consistently ruin a brisket. Now I don't.
He does a great job giving you the option of cooking it in an oven or the smoker. Nothing to complicated either.

So the good news is this book has different recipes than the other Two myron mixon books I've come across. The downside is those recipes feel like cheap money grabs. A whole section of the book just involves him pouring bbq sauce on fried things and calling them fried bbq. Does that mean mcdonalds sells bbq now? Also captain crunch chicken? From a highly decorated pitmaster?

Yes, it was interesting, but I have a sense that all the recipes are the same: put whatever you want to cook in a pan, put the pan in the barbecue for one hour, turn off the barbecue, wait two hours, eat. I am sure everything is delicious.
