New to smoking

[josepie]

Hi all, can you recommend a simple, tasty beginner meant I can smoke the day after Xmas?
I have the sister-in-law coming by that day. I just purchased a new smoker and I'm eager to try it out - Rec Tec Bullseye grill. We do have a nice butchers near by with great meat...

I know its probably been asked before but thought I'd see if anyone has suggestions for a newb.

Thanks in advance.

Pork Butts are easy, inexpensive. Go to the "Search" at the top center right and put in Pork Butt and see what ya get. Now me, I always cook a Pork Butt and a Chuck Roast below it in the smoker so the pork can drip on the chuck roast while cooking, smoking.

How about prime rib? That's what I'm doing. I just seasoned mine. Salt pepper and some garlic powder. Tiny bit of worsteshire sauce too. Just a little, few dabs on each side and spread evenly. And it's in the fridge, I cut most the fat off. Left about 1/4" and that's it. Becuase I don't wanna see anyone having to cut the fat out of there pieces and I don't wanna mistake a piece of meat for fat when it's all done when cutting it and serving. so I know it's ready to eat when done. All I'm going to do is bring it up to 125-130 and that's it, check on pit temps to of course on a stick burner. Apple cherry some oak and some walnut. Mainley cherry and apple tho. Have fun with waterver u cook!! U could do chicken wings too, I'm doing that aswell and going to marinade them in concentrated orange juice tomorrow for couple hours

I second pork butts! Inexpensive, almost impossible to mess up, very easy and best of all tastes amazing ... and with left overs usually to freeze! Or spare ribs, shorter cook/smoke time, more forgivable than babybacks.... shoot! Anything is good in the smoker, not trying to throw alot at you... brats, wings, chicken quarters, whole chickens possibilities are endless!
