Howdy!  Posting from TX, a little ways northeast of Dallas.  Just inherited my very first smoker today - it's a hand-me-down - an older New Braunfels offset horizontal smoker... Needs a new handle and shelf on the outside, but otherwise it is in great shape!  Hoping to get something going in it this weekend, but I don't even know where to begin, or what I want to try for my first attempt!!  I'm a total foodie, and LOVE to cook - this is just a new skill for me.... Suggest away!!! Thanks in advance for tips/tricks/suggestions! :)

Thanks y'all!  Got off to a good start yesterday with a whole chicken and some baby back ribs... Will tweak the seasonings a little next time, but for a first attempt they turned out awesome!!!  Forgot to take photos, but today I've got a bunch of chicken breasts going, each one seasoned differently (so I can decide what I like best and what I don't wanna mess with in the future!).  About to see if I can figure out how to post some pictures, so I can share!  Thanks for the warm welcome! :)
 
Welcome from another Texas member!  After mastering the yardbirds, you might wanna get a hold of Boston butt or Pork shoulder and try your hand at pulled pork.  They are real forgiving and kind of a "have to do" for a smoker.  After that, turkeys, spare ribs, and the Holy Grail of smoking meat, brisket!
