Ok well it's not my first ever cook per se but it's the first time I've used my smoker. I decided to do some pulled pork for the Superbowl on the advice that it's the most forgiving cut of meat to BBQ (and of course it's delicious).
I ordered a lovely cut of 5lb pork shoulder, which i rubbed with MMD then popped it in my Weber Kettle with SnS and 11 hours later had pulled pork!!
It wasn't quite that simple, it was really cold and damp here so it took me much longer to light than I expected, and an hour into the cook the temperatures spiked massively (turns out I hadn't put the lid back on properly). I sprayed the coals with some water and that brought the temp back down where it stayed at a steady 230* for the remainder of the cook. I was very impressed with how long the SnS held its temperature, 11 hours for the cook and there was plenty of heat and coals left for several hours more,even more impressive as it was only 37* outside.
The end results were delicious. I served it on some toasted brioche buns with some coleslaw, best pulled pork I've every had. Thank you Meathead and everyone on the site for the recipe, help and tips.
