My first cook was a pork butt. Nearly a 100% guarantee of success with pork butt! Ribs are good also as is chicken.

I'd vote for ribs, but that's just me. Actually, what I've been doing most lately are steaks dusted with BPS Steak Rub using the grilling grate over the flame zone. Better than any steak I've had in a restaurant!

+1 on the butt

Utterly impossible to screw up, and guaranteed to be delicious.

Let us know how it turns out!

I vote for ribs. I believe butts are easier to do right, but ribs will show you it was money well spent. Watch bptv to see how to do it and get good results. You can do pork butt on anything and get it right. You want to find out why you bought a two star!

Smoke some burgers, that will be faster and easier.
