Got a propane smoker for Christmas and loaded it up with some backstrap, duck, and a roast. Loving this thing so far. Any ideas on what to smoke next?? This is my first time smoking anything and I would love some tips.

slow and low

your temp should be 225ish
take you time and keep your meats juicy

you can put apple cider beer or apple juice in your water bowl on bottom along with a cut up onion for some
'sweet steam'

Do a boston butt. Super easy and hard to screw up.

I just went to look and apparently it is a knock off brand (no name)...however, it has worked wonders so far.

Can't decide on what to cook next...any suggestions? Definitely will do some boston butt soon. I'm loving this thing.

Boston Butt for sure.

What about smoking a ham?

Also, what kind of wood do y'all use to smoke? I used maple today and enjoyed it. Is the taste much different between using different woods...like maple vs hickory?

Apple and Cherry.

Check out this company: LINK

They have amazing quality wood chunks. I've heard Peach is a great wood to smoke with also.

Fresh salmon filet, skin on.

45-50 minutes at 200 degrees. Shake a little Lowrey's seasoned salt on prior.....

Delicious.

(need the skin to keep it from drying out).
