    Newbie pellet smoker here

    Been loitering around this site for months and finally convinced the wife that we NEEDED (not a "want" a "NEED"!) a pellet smoker. I thought there were only a couple of manufacturers around but boy was I surprised when I started researching. Finally settled on a Camp Chef DLX. It won't be here until Tuesday and I'm like a kid the day before Christmas.

    Anyway, got meathead's book and want to try just about anything. So tell me what my first cook on it should be!

      dtbach514 Welcome to The Pit from Northern Virginia! After seasoning your new cooker, I recommend cooking a Boston Butt for pulled pork. BBs are very forgiving and there's a zillion uses for pulled pork. Remember, if you don't post pics, it never happened! Good luck!

        Welcome to The PIt. Since you have a lot of cooking space, I suggest adding a chuck roast to go with the butt. They are cooked the same, but the chuckie should cook a bit faster as they are normally thinner than butts.

                      Welcome! I started this adventure with a pellet gril also. Pulled pork and chuck roast for pulled beef will both give you a really good idea of burn rates and personal effort required for low-and-slow as well as how much smoke flavor the grill will provide. Shoot for 225-250 during the cook. A good independent thermometer will help give you confidence that the digital temp controller is giving you what your asking it to give.

                      Second cook maybe some skin-on chicken parts where you want the temps a little higher to give you an idea of its versatility

                      whatever you cook, starting with the tested recipes on this site will prove very enjoyable. Have fun!
