Hello Edgall and welcome to the fun. Many good folk here with a load of experience that they are more than willing to share. If you have specific questions just start a thread and someone with experience will be along soon to offer advice. All info you can provide us with such as smoker type, location and so on will help us answer any questions you may have. Spend some time doing some research on the forums, tons of advice and recipes already available there. We look forward to your contributions. As to your poll: I will assume you have seasoned your smoker and sealed every leak you can. I always advise the same with this question. Chicken leg quarters and maybe some burgers. I know! I know! You have been reading for weeks, now have your smoker, you are ready to get started. The neighbours’ cat is in danger of being smoked and this idiot says chicken legs and burgers?? WHAT?? The first few smokes are about learning to control temps in YOUR smoker. Each one can be different. If that first smoke burns, the dog gets a good meal. If it ain’t done, finish it in the oven. Little money lost and with luck you still get a good meal. TEMP CONTROL!! IS THE KEY!! Have fun. Good luck. Keep Smokin!
