One of the best ways to "get your feet wet" in bread baking is to start with Pre-made frozen bead dough. Around here the brand is Bridgford. This will teach beginners what a proper dough feels like and let them make various kind of filled breads without the initial dough making process the fouls...
For wood you want something mild. While the smoke flavor is going to add to the quality of the pastrami, you do not want to over power the flavor with a strong wood like hickory or mesquite. A popular wood to use when making pastrami is maple. I also use woods like apple, cherry, or grape...
The easy answer is yes, but you would also be cutting off the meat that has been seasoned with rub (assuming it has). How about cutting the butt in half and add rub to cut surface. Two 4.5 lb butts will cook in less time ( not half so I'm told) than a 9 lb er.

Being that pizza ovens run 600 to 900 deg, i wonder if it might be better to assemble the pizza from cheese, meat, and veggies flavored in the smoker and then cooked over the gas grill. Each cooker does what it's best at.
Most use sand to even out temperature fluctuations. Probably a lot more important in a WSM than a MES. WSM's run at higher temps and a bowl of water will create excessive moisture.
You didn't say it was a turkey.........I thought is was a really big chicken. I will cook a turkey several times a year. Great flavor and i love leftovers. Nicely done.
Excellent design and execution. Just keep an eye on the pellet smoker. Too much air flow and it might catch fire. Check out search bar for mail box mod. Safer is better.
That was the only problem I had.. Pan was TO HOT when I put the oil in... it kinda flamed up (oooopps)... But with Bar Keepers Friend it cleaned up spick and span... As for your water droplet trick.. I'm confused on this... If it boils and explodes...not quite hot enough. I would have thought if...
That's why I ordered two Thermapens at the same time. I was sure as soon as the wife used mine it would become "Head cook's property" and I would need the second one for myself.
I use a firewood sawbuck and a couple of quick bar clamps to hold the wood. Then slice the wood into 3 to 4 inch thick rounds. Those can be further split with a hand ax. Always Safety First.
