Myron Mixon Trailers come in small, medium and large sizes and can be ordered with any Mixon smoker(s) and a variety of options like grills, coolers, burners, storage, log baskets and sinks. BBQ accessories such as drawers, cocktail center, propane tank drawer, and ice maker are also available. We asked Commercial Sales Manager, David Mixon, if he noticed any particular setup that is typical or popular and tried to get a feel for pricing. “Trailers are highly customized”, he responded, ” we’ll make anything our customers want, but let’s say you go with a medium trailer, 60 inch smoker, cooler, sink and enclosed dry storageโฆ.that could run $19,000 to $20,000.” We’ll split the difference and use $19,500 for our MSRP to give you a median ballpark figure. Pricing can go up or down from there depending on your trailer size and wish list.
Mixon’s website has neat, interactive trailer pages that let you select and configure the features you want, and then send your creation to them via email for a quote. See the medium trailer overhead graphic below.
All Mixon equipment is top notch and made to with stand commercial and competition use. MM trailers come standard with heavy duty axels, LED lights and chrome wheels.
We based our cooking capacity listed below on the two 56.75″ x 21.75″ racks that come standard with Mixon’s 60″ Flatrack Smoker.

Few faces in the world of barbecue are as familiar as Myron Mixon, the โWinningest Manโ in competitive barbecue and often referred to simply as โThe Kingโ. Mixon and brother Tracey learned the craft from their father, Jack Mixon, and started his namesake competition team, Jackโs Old South. As Pitmaster of Jack’s Old South, Mixon won over 180 grand championships, 30 state championships, 11 national championships, 4 world championships and represents the only team to win grand championships in the Memphis in May, Kansas City Barbecue Society, and Florida Barbecue Association contests in the same year. All totaled he has earned over 1800 trophies so far! In 2013 he was inducted into The Barbecue Hall Of Fame.
Mixon is the star of Destination Americaโsย BBQ Pitmastersย Series and author of the New York Times bestselling cookbook, โSmokinโ with Myron Mixonโ. He also made numerous television appearances on shows including: Theย Tonightย Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Conan, ABCโs Good Morning America, NBCโs TODAY show and QVC.
The best advice on how to make great barbecue came from his old man. “Daddy said to cook it ’til it’s done”, relates Mixon, “Now that may seem obvious, but you have guys who got up early and get impatient if it’s taking longer than expected. I don’t care if you drank a damn twelve pack, or it’s raining or whatever; you got friends and family waiting for some good barbecue. Cook it ’til it’s done”!
All Myron Mixon Smokers are made in the USA in Waterford, CT where Mixon has partnered with Rob Marelli, founder and CEO ofย Seconn Fabrication,ย (below).ย Seconn is an award winning facility that specializes in sheet metal, robotics and automation industries. Seconnย clients include health care and militaryย suppliers who demand quality and consistency to meet required specs and certifications.
Mixon and Marelli have an interesting history, partnership and friendship that melds old school southern barbecue with high tech engineering and manufacturing.

When you make rubs at home we recommend you add salt first then the herbs and spices because salt penetrates deep and the other stuff remains on the surface. So thick cuts need more salt. We put salt in these bottled rubs because all commercial rubs have salt and consumers expect it. You can still use these as a dry brine, just sprinkle the rub on well in advance to give the salt time to penetrate. For very thick cuts of meat, we recommend adding a bit more salt. Salt appears first in the ingredients list because the law says the order is by weight, not volume, and salt is a heavy rock.
Sprinkle on one tablespoon per pound of meat two hours or more before cooking if you can. Called โdry brining,โ the salt gets wet, ionizes, becomes a brine, and slowly penetrates deep, enhancing flavor and juiciness while building a nice crusty โbarkโ on the surface. Sprinkle some on at the table too!
Are they hot? No! You can always add hot pepper flakes or Chipotle powder (my fave) in advance or at the table. But we left them mild so you can serve them to kids and Aunt Matilda
From TBoneJack, the unofficial Poet Laureate of The Pitmaster Club:
AmazingRibs is where you go,
To get the best advice,
Youโll find out how, to smoke a cow,
And it will turn out nice.
Smokers, gadgets, recipes,
Charcoal, gas, or wood?
The how, the why, and what to try,
When things arnโt going good.
Selection, prep, and cook techniques,
Marinades and such,
Rubs and brines and temps and times,
And how to use the Crutch.
Brisket secrets are revealed,
For moist and tender meat,
The point, the flat, the rendered fat,
The proper mix of heat.
I found out how to smoke spare ribs,
Great bark and taste and worth,
I want some more, Iโll have them for,
My last meal on this Earth.
Memphis Dust did suit them well,
I served them without sauce,
Not 3-2-1, not overdone,
No precious flavor loss.
Jambo, Lang, or Meadow Creek,
Itโs hard to make the call,
Almost a crime, so little time,
Iโd like to try them all.
Iโm not ashamed, Iโm not alone,
โCause many have this lot,
But Iโll admit, here in the Pit,
My wife said Not! Not! Not!
Weber, Brinkman, PBC,
No need for budget breach,
They cook great food, just ask me dude,
โCause I have one of each.
Obsessed I am, I know itโs true,
They call it MCS,
I saw the doc, he was in shock,
He too is in this mess.
Myron Mixon, Johnny Trigg,
Cool Smokeโs Tuffy Stone,
Harry Soo, Chris Lilly too,
And Moe who cooks alone.
Theyโre all good, I like them fine,
Iโm sure they cook good Q,
Theyโve earned the right, I see the light,
Iโll give them their fair due,
But I have learned, thru many cooks,
This web site is da bomb,
For what to do, browse over to,
AmazingRibs dot com.
Tired of seeing popup ads?
No need to throw a fit,
Donโt you know, just spend some dough,
And join us in the Pit.
And if you travel, donโt despair,
No further should you look,
The answerโs clear, put down your beer,
And order Meatheadโs book.
