Hello from New Jersey
« Reply #-1 on: March 14, 2017, 11:31:35 AM »
Hello all, recently purchased a Green Mountain Daniel Boone pellet grill/smoker. This is my first pellet grill and I have never attempted smoking before. The GMG seemed like a good start for a beginner and with success I will look into something more high end in the future. My plan is to do some practicing and eventually inviting friends and family over.

What would be something simple to start with? A whole chicken? If so what should I attempt after that?

Looking forward to what I can learn from you all.

Welcome from Manitoba Canada, you have found a great place to hang out and learn. I'm still learning all the time.

Someone else will have to help on chicken as I still kill it and not in a good way. I would go with ribs and foil. For a starter home made rub google Jan's and please thank her ;D

Welcome from Savannah, Ga and congrats on your Green Mountain Grill purchase.

 I would recommend the following:
First, run it for about an hour at 350 to burn of any manufacturing oils.
Second, is seasoning.  Spray a light coating of Canola Oi and load of the rack with bacon.  Run at 225 for awhile and than 300.
Third: do some cooking for instance a 10 lb. Boston Butt is about the most forgiving meat to smoke. 
A couple to three hours at 170 for smoke.  Up the temp to 225 until done which is about 205 degrees. 
Takes about 1 1/2 hours per pound. 
Next one foil at 160 internal until internal temperature of 205 and see which one you like best as both ways are good.

Or roast a chicken first and you will find many recipes here and on the internet.
