My awesome wife bought me a MASTERBUILT XL Smoker for XMAS. My first adventure in smoking is gong to be a pork butt and some wings. Any suggestions?...

Welcome to SMF.
Lots of good reading here on both wings and butts.
Butts: can take up to 12 to 16 hours . But worth it . Take it to IT of 200 to 205 for pulled pork. I like to smoke them in a pan or a pan under
to catch the juice then defat the juice and pour back over the pulled pork . After the IT of the butt reaches 160 you can wrap in foil. That will
help it get to 205 faster.
Wings Can either brine the wings for a few hours or inject them. Here a link that shows how to on injecting them. S2K9K"s injected wings
If you don't want hot sauce injected in them I have done butter/garlic mix.
hope this helps

Well I didn't know we were suppose to give a little Bio on ourselves so here goes. As i stated earlier my wife gave me a Masterbuilt XL smoker for Christmas. I'm from Shawnee,KS. 44 years old. Have a 3 year old (GOD help me) beautiful little girl and cannot wait to start drinking....errrrr I mean smoking. Have absolutely no experience and have been getting several ideas from "smokingpit.com". Great how to videos there.
Looking forward to putting all of your knowledge to work. Thanks to JROD for the initial tips.
