brisket or spare ribs

Get a pack of leg quarters. Poultry seasoning and black pepper. I like hickory for poultry and oak for beef but that's just me. Try to keep it at 225 throughout the process. Then move on to something that requires you to monitor heat AND moisture.
If you screw it up you're only out 5 bucks.

Grats...did you season it already?

Pork butt or shoulder with bone-in... relatively easy to smoke. Not tempermental like a brisket, which is the LAST thing I'd start with.
It's pretty much impossible to overcook a pork butt. Just don't undercook it.

Pork butt. Very forgiving and it will allow you to give everything a test run to see how it holds/controls heat/smoke etc.
Electric, propane, charcoal?

amazingribs.com has a lot of good info for a beginner. I would season it one day, then smoke some chicken thighs one day after work to get a feel for controlling the temp. Thighs only take a couple hours to smoke. Then I would cook a Pork Butt on the weekend. expect the butt to take 1.5-2 hrs/lb.
