Welcome from NYC. I started with ribs on my WSM -- probably as good a spot to start as any... -
Welcome from Winnipeg. Ribs, pork butt, or chuck roast are all pretty good starting places.Comment

Welcome to The Pit! Happy to have you here enjoying the trial, we hope you'll choose to stick around!
A lot of folks will tell you to start with a pork butt if you're new to smoking, since they're so forgiving. I also second jgreen's recommendation of a chuck roast. Cook it just like a pork butt (except with a more bold beef rub) and you can make pulled beef. To me personally pulled beef beats pulled pork any day- the taste of Texas brisket with the ease and versatility of pulled pork.

Welcome from Maryland. Pork butt is very forgiving.Comment

Welcome to The Pit. Butts and chuck roasts are probably the most forgiving cooks. Ribs are quicker, but a little more challenging. However, if you read the articles on ribs on the free side, and ask any questions you might have, you should be OK.Comment
