Welcome to SMF!

I always tell folks for a first smoke to try chicken.

It's cheap & easy to smoke.

Leg quarters are just about as easy as it gets.

Also I would suggest you get yourself a good thermometer.

A dual probe such as a Maverick would be a good choice.

Then you can monitor the meat temp & pit temp from in the house.
