My 009 was delivered yesterday. I've never smoked anything in my life (other than a joint or two in college, but I did NOT inhale). I seasoned it today and my first butt is smoking tonight. I am really excited!

I was in the same boat as you a few months back. Have never smoked anything in my life. Happy enough with my finished product, that I just started sharing with family. Smoking a butt this weekend for a birthday party. Sister says her family doesn't like smoked food so they are making something else. I'm guessing she's going to change her mind after this.
Yep. Show them how to eat it on a cheap white hotdog bun with coleslaw on top and their minds will be changed forever!!!
BTW, you guys can be my honorary Southerners!!!
Great attitude!!!

Claimbuster, How did it turn out? Did you inhale this time? My 009 will be in my hands tomorrow so please share your experiences.
Honorary Southerner, has a nice ring. Although I'm pretty sure I have a long ways to go before I can claim them honors.
I am a hero at my house. My wife never has been crazy about barbeque but she has changed her mind. If she wouldn't have been watching, I would have told her how hard it was and how much time was invested. But can't do that. I put it in at 11:00PM, set it at 200, went to bed, then the next morning I turned it up to 225 and went to work. At 4:30 I pulled it out. Found a good recipe for carolina cole slaw and it was heaven.
I just may be doing that again on Thursday.
