New smoker here, along with a new gosm

[boston]

I just got a new gosm smoker, still in the box, will put it toghether tommorrow and attempt to season also. Never smoked before, with the exception of throwing some chips on charcoal.

I found this site a few days ago and I just dont know what I want to try first, pork butt, brisket, mushrooms, a fattie or 3, some abt's. I got a feeling this smoker is gonna be smokin all next weekend. Lucky for me, my wife has a foodsaver and loves to use it.

HAPPY SMOKES

welcome to smf and you have a great smoker that will provide you with the means to do just about anything you want. to start with a fatty,or a butt depending how much time u got to put into it be good coices. share some smokes with qview !!!

I agree the fatty will give you a first start, and it is easy I would try a 2 pounder and take it up to 150 -160' and wrap.

Good luck, and welcome!
