Hey everyone, just joined up from West Virginia. I just purchased a Pit Barrel Cooker a few weeks ago, so far i love it. Before that, I have been using a Masterbuilt Electric smoker for about 7 years. My favorite things to cook are ribs and pulled pork. really looking forward to putting the pit barrel through work out this spring and summer, first cook in was Meathead's pastrami on a cold 14-degree day, food was great but hard to enjoy being outside cooking in the cold.

Welcome to The Pit Sam. I suggest you try smokin' a chuck roast. It cooks very similar to a butt, but normally needs to go a bit higher in temp to be probe tender. You can pull it and make sammies, or use it in place of beef in Mexican dishes, or just about anything else.
