A Turning Point

Up until now I have been learning by comparing notes with the two Steve's and doing internet research on smoking different types of meat. However, I was browsing TV channels one day and came across a show that would change my BBQ live and philosophy.

BBQ Pitmasters  was the show and there just happened to be a marathon on the day I discovered it.

Watching the different competitors from all over the country (and now the world) really gave me some great tips and ideas on how I wanted to progress on my journey to be a pit master.

One particular individual proved to be more inspirational than the rest. Yes I am writing about the Loud and Proud Myron Mixon. Mr Mixon is considered the winningest man in BBQ and despite his large ego (hey he can get away with it) he is more of a wealth of knowledge than I believe even he realizes.

See Jacks Old South for more information on Myron.

After watching several dozen episodes I decided to purchase Myron's book "Smokin with Myron Mixon, Recipes Made Simple, from the Winningest Man in Barbecue" This book is everything I hoped it would be and more. From recipes for rubs and sauces to how to prepare Smoked Deviled Eggs this is one great book for the beginning pit master. And yes it is simple!

This book is worth whatever it costs and while the recipes are simple and even gives you times and temperatures for a smoke, make no mistake about it I am still a long way from competition.

Cheers
