My name is Brian and I will soon be a pellet smoker.

Just placed my order yesterday for a Mak 2 Star. Can't wait until it arrives. I've got to say that although the ordering process was a little bumpy the folks at Big Poppa Smokers did everything they could to accommodate my requests. It seems that even in 2016 computer systems don't always do things the way we want.

I'm hoping (but not expecting) it will be here before fathers day so I can have a good sized chunk of smoked meat to share with the loved ones. Any suggestions for a first smoke? I've never done this before?

Thanks,

Brian

Congrats! You will love it.

I would say pulled pork is the easiest for a first cook. It's hard to mess it up too bad. It's also a good sized chunk of meat!

Welcome to PS.com Brian!

I second the pulled pork as a first cook suggestion! Here's a fail safe pulled pork recipe I have made many times. It never fails and produces fantastic tasting pork!

So the grill arrived in less than a week...so much for the lead time warning I had to sign off on! I've got it all assembled and burned in and am waiting for the weekend to do the first cook. Unfortunately my fathers day cook will have to be postponed but, thanks to this site, I've been introduced to a previously unknown food group. The fatty! So I'll be cooking one up tomorrow morning. Here is the plan: Sage sausage, maple bacon, hash browns and eggs. Not too exotic but I'm pretty sure even my 7yr old daughter will eat it.

Wish me luck!

I am glad it arrived in good shape! You were a pleasure (even though we had that minor set back). Post some pictures of that beauty!
