Want to try something I've never smoked before. My usual go-to's are:

- Pulled pork
- Brisket
- Burgers
- whole chicken
- Ribs
- Chicken wings

I found some a bacon and sausage thing I want to try, but that's not going to be the main meal.

I will not be able to start super early, so a 10-12 hour brisket or pork shoulder is off the table. I'm not opposed to cooking something with pork, chicken etc, I just want it to be different than the norm.

I'll have 7-8 hours to cook, so it doesn't have to be something super quick...just not a 12 hour smoke.

Any suggestions?

Hard to beat pulled pork. The amount of variety that can be made from it is what brings me to keep at it.

Beef ribs, usually only takes about 5 hours or so.

Smoke some Texas twinkies if you have any leftover brisket in the freezer. I made these several months back. So easy and delicious.

I'm a big fan of smoking a turkey if you have a crowd over. I smoked a breast last week for the Saints-Cowboys game and put it in a gumbo. Turkey is pretty inexpensive, everyone likes it and it's something you don't get that often. Plus, you can do a lot with it beyond the traditional Thanksgiving bird -- I've put lemon slices and a mix of fresh herbs underneath the skin.

if you don't buy a $15-$20 package of pork belly from costco and make burnt ends along with the other stuff you're doing it wrong.

carramrod and others made me a believer. these things are bomb-arse delicous and since they're cubed you can just kinda dump them all around the other meat you're smoking wherever you can find space for them.

Skin-on pork belly. Fill a big pan with salt and lay it skin down in it for 24 hrs. This is critical to draw enough water from the skin so it’ll get crispy and bubble up. Wipe all the salt off, rub the meat side with your pork rub and smoke it. Once done, ladle hot grease over the skin, it’ll turn to cracklin. It’s a flavor and texture mash up like no other. Tender smoked pork on one side, crispy cracklin on the other.

Smoked beef tenderloin can be pretty amazing and fairly quick.
