Hey everyone,

Name is Chad, live just outside Montreal and yesterday I purchased a Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5'...still waiting for it to ship :)

I have never smoked in my life...so I am as new as they get! I am sure I will have a few questions to post as I learn. :))

Cheers!

Hello Chad, and welcome from East Texas. This is a great site, lots of information and great people that are willing to throw in their two cents worth on about anything.   Hey, this is going to be fun, you will get addicted pretty quick.[/h3][h3]  [/h3][h3]Gary[/h3]

Thanks Gary. As I impatiently wait for the smoker, any suggestions for my very first smoke?

Welcome from BC.

You've come to the right place to start smoking. There is a great deal of information in the posts, great people who will share their experience, and great ideas. 

As for a first smoke, a spatchcock chicken is a good quick smoke. Cooking a pork butt for pulled pork is a long smoke but is quite forgiving.

When you get your smoker, be sure and season it, then pretty much what Disco said, Chicken is real easy, Pork shoulder takes a long time but forgiving. You may want to do a couple of short cooks just to get the feel of your new smoker. Throw on some sausage too.
