Are you more comfortable with one of the meats over the other? with a new cooker I'd go with the item/recipe Im most familiar and comfortable with so that the only variable Im "worried" about is the new gizmo. Just my 2 cents.

Ribs or chicken sound good to me. Just check out the PBC videos and read up in the PBC thread here and your good. Some folks seem to get all concerned about the lack of PBC temp control in the beginning. As long as you can monitor meat temp your going to produce good stuff. Have fun and............................................tak e pictures!

Got a PBJ for Christmas. Weather is keeping the inaugural run in a constant state of delay and i'm just chaffing at the bit to "git r done". Originally I wanted to do prime rib but that idea wasn't really feasible for the two of us. Then I ran through the list of duck, turkey, chicken, cornish hens, kebabs, flat iron steak, etc. My wife bought a slab of St. Louis style ribs yesterday. Nuff said! It's ribs.

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

I always start with a pork butt, hard to screw up! The PBC kills it with ribs, butts and chicken. Halve the birds as showed in the PBC videos, get the temp over 325 for at least 30 mins, and then cook to 160 in the breasts. Ribs are a bit trickier, keep the temp below 250 if you can, just a few chunks of wood if at all. I wrap em when I get the color right and finish cooking or hold in the oven. St. Louis spares or backs, best ribs ever. Good luck, you'll love your PBC!

Since the PBC seems to run a bit hot the first few cooks, chicken might be good first cook - it can take the heat and should have crispy skin.
