I was wondering if there is a meat that is inexpensive some of you may have smoked that will tender up and turn out pretty good? I thought this would be a fun project for a weekend when not much is going on!
Exactly---Boneless Pork Loin is the Cheapest Good Meat around, without feathers!!!If you can find a packer brisket for a reasonable price, that's an option. It's still gonna cost more than most pork though. And it's a bit more of a challenge than butts. There's always pork loin too. I can get that here for $2/lb. Not much of a challenge, but good. Just watch your temps. It's not far from done to dry. Chicken is cheap, and again, a bit more of a challenge than pork butts, but still not too hard.
