Hello everyone, been browsing the forums for a couple of weeks now. I used to do some smoking in an old brinkman smoker years and years ago with my dad but haven't done any smoking in quite some time. I just got a Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker. going to season it on Sunday and try a brisket out on Monday since I am off work.  I look forward to all the advice and posts. have a good one.

Thanks so much. I've seen a lot of good tips and advice from a lot of people on these forums and none of the BS. I like that. It's nice to find a place where it seems that is kept out of it

Well the wife changed her mind and got a small bone in pork shoulder. A little over 4 pounds. Any suggestions?

Uh, get a chicken to go with it or you'll go hungry? Just kidding! Cook it like any butt.
All kidding aside, that little butt and a whole chicken will probably get done around the same time.
And never, ever, let your wife pick out Q meat. I think that's an unwritten rule...[emoji]128513[/emoji]

Thanks SmokeyMose but I actually don't eat a whole lot. I had surgery last year that limits me to about a cup of food 3 times a day so this will actually be plenty. Haha. Want to try the smoker out first before I do more meats and vacuum pack and freeze them.

Put her on at 8 so about three hours in. I've stopped adding chips. I don't want any more smoke. She smells great. Here's where I'm at. Internal temp of the butt and inside temp of my smoker
