Just heard from fed-ex my new sm066 will be here tomorrow, going to get something for our first Q. What is everyone hungry for?

Start with a pork butt. Very forgiving and a good way to season your smoker after the initial break-in.
You've got to do a porkbutt for your first smoke. They are the most forgiving and it's kinda traditon. Anyway, happy smoking! Whatever it is, it'll be better than expected.
Do your seasoning, then get a nice pork sholder, and go for it. It is a great first cook.
Good luck and enjoy your new smoker.

Yup, I concur with everyone else. Get yourself a nice 8 or 9 pound pork butt, slap a good rub on it and put it in at 225 for 12 hours. Middle shelf. Let it run, do not open the smoker, just let her do her job. Put it in when you go to bed at night, next morning your place will smell like heaven. It'll take about 12 hours at 225 to get to 195. I like making carnitas for pork tacos with mine. WOW !!!
