Long time lurker, first time poster. I have zero experience with smoking, and have always used gas grills. I know I know, but its quick and easy. fun fact about me, I once prepared 30lbs of pulled pork in my oven which went surprisingly well. Ive been wanting to pick up a pellet grill for the last couple of years and pulled the trigger on a pit boss 820. Did an initial burn in a couple days ago and cooked the first round last night. This thing appears to be super easy to use seems to hold temp perfectly based off the readout on the controller at least. gratuitous first cook food pictures:

Thanks guys. Got my thermometer in and had to go for a second cook tonight. I should’ve put the taters on 15 or so minutes ahead of the chicken some of them weren’t all the way done. Chicken was good though.
