New to smoking

[brecque]

Hi, I just joined to hopefully get the courage to plug in my new 30" electric Masterbuilt smoker.  I live in New Mexico.  Where do I start?

What do you like? I started by smoking pork butts and chicken thighs. Chicken thighs are great because they are relatively inexpensive and the end results are great. Or you could go big with a brisket!!!!

Thank you all for the welcome.  I just ordered Jeff's book so I will have some ideas for what to do with the meat before I put it in the smoker.
