Going to try a pork butt for my first smoke on the PG1000! If you have any tips or advice it would be appreciated!

If you have a probe and can monitor the temp as it ramps up it will give you a good feel as to how the cooker operates. The cooker temp is important also. What temp are you planning to cook it at?
Read Nordy's input on temp control http://forum.cookshack.com/eve...3105064/m/6422990417
The heat will come top down on the indirect side, so you may want the fat cap on the top, if you leave it on?
Should cook pretty good at about 230-250* to an internal temp of 195*. Wiggle the bone to see if it's loose or use a probe to see if it slides in and out like soft butter. You should be good to go for pulled pork.

I have an internal temp probe so that will be in use, was thinking of cooking around 240ish nit real sure on the HHT setting I will use. I have smoked a lot on charcoal so this will be totally new to me. Thanks for any input.

Be sure to season it. @300 for a couple hours and you'll be good to go.
Don't forget the foil & PAM.
Be sure to foil both the ash tray & warming drawer.

Don't mess with the LHT/HHT to begin with, just learn the standards first. Also be aware the there will be some direct heat from the flames to the PB so place the PB a little to farther right side.
