"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.

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
