Just starting in NC!

[Xclusive]

Raised in NC and love the regional taste here. Just got a Smoke Hollow 4 in 1 for super cheap and moving hobbies to learning how to smoke. I'm particularly interested in learning pork shoulders and brisket and hoping to have a decent recipe by the end of this year through experimenting and changing only a few variables each meat.

Welcome and congrats on the new smoker. Lots of folks here to help you attain brisket and pork shoulder nirvana. Have fun experimenting. You'll eventually come with with your go-to rub, sauce, and cook process. The great part is, even when it doesn't turn out great it still tastes good!!!

Welcome to SMF!
Pork shoulder is pretty easy, but brisket may take a couple tries!

Welcome! As Al said, the butts wont take long to master but the brisket may take some time.

Welcome from NW Georgia.
You’ve come to a happy place.
Butts are a good choice to experiment with. Brisket on the other hand is an exspensive experiment in my area.

Welcome, fellow NC'er!! Checking in from Archdale. Good luck with your new smoker! Definitely get comfortable with butts and shoulders first. They're pretty forgiving, and you'll learn a lot about your smoker in the process before tackling a brisket.
