What to put in the smoker this weekend?

I've got a smoked salsa recipe that you can't really screw up. Just smoke for an hour.

That sounds like a challenge.

You have obviously overestimated my culinary skills.

Davey Crockett is being delivered today! Now trying to figure out what I can try that isn't too difficult for a first timer. Any suggestions?

Whole chicken or wings for something fast. If you want something to smoke all day go with pulled pork. Something in the middle, pork ribs.

Pellet grills really make things easy. Set it to the temp and then wait.

pork ribs too easy. Start with the 3-2-1 method then adjust from there.

Howwever you need to run the grill to burn off any residual there is on the unit. It tells you in the manual what needs to needs to be done, before using.

Doing some chicken wings tonight. Standard Frank's on half and since I have a pack of Szechuan peppercorns, I'll do the other half in a mouth numbing sauce.

Pulled pork

This. Really difficult to screw up and one of the most economical.

Like GK said, follow the mfr. instructions for burn-in and use some wide heavy duty foil on that drip tray.

To save my lazy butt from looking through this entire thread, maybe some of you could snap a picture of your smokers next time you're using them and post them?

I've been putting off getting one for way too long. With all of the money I've saved by not eating out or shopping at the local brick and mortar stores for the last several weeks it's probably a good time for me to buy one.

Get one of the wood pellet grill types. You have mentioned you aren?t very good at cooking. These make it easy and are versatile. The ones with the WiFi and all that new stuff make it even easier, but not needed if you don?t mind going outside and checking on things every so often.

I have this one: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Pit-Boss-Pr...ill/1000601257

It?s sister model is a Walmart exclusive that is a little bit different.

I had bought a traeger, but I couldn?t get it to stop running all the way up to high temps regardless of the settings. I took it back as i was tired of dealing with their support people for something that just came out of the box. However, I?m sure the one I got was a bad apple. I know plenty of others with their grills that are very happy.

Check this one out Ray,company founded by a Colorado veteran. I've had great meals with this smoker,requires a little bit more work than some of the others mentioned here but it's worth it in my opinion. https://pitbarrelcooker.com/?sscid=41k4_pxxxk
