Newbie from Arkansas

[Stofur]

Hey everyone! I’m brand new to smoking...just got a Pit Boss Copperhead 5 for my 1st smoker (wanted something easy to use since I don’t know what I’m doing). I’ve smoked a couple of pork butts so far (pretty awesome) and tried some ribs (they weren’t the best). I have a lot to learn from you all!

Anyone else from NW Arkansas?

When I’m not smoking, I like to duck hunt and am training my new lab puppy (Luna) to retrieve ducks is a lot of fun. I work for Glad Manufacturing as a Plant Controller. I’m married with 4 kids. My oldest is in the Army National Guard and my 2nd is in college.

If anyone has any tips for the new guy, I’m all ears!

Welcome , try to buy 100% pellets, you want all hickory or apple or what ever flavor you like, now that said the blends can be really good also , spritzing can help with smoke flavor and also a smoke tube added helps, not all pellets are created eqaul but all of them can give good smoke flavor, if you have a rural king close they handle Lumber Jack pellets, they are my goto brand, the Charhickory gives a charcoal grilled note . posting pictures here is easy, they host them so no other pay site or whatever is needed.
