Pork butt – easy win – build some confidence.

Do you want to BBQ or do something low and slow i.e. smoke meat?
BBQ: chicken thighs. Super easy.
Smoke: pork butt
Make sure you have remote/wired temp probes if you’re smoking. Makes things A LOT easier.
I would go with the chicken though. Learn how to regulate the temp by adjusting the vents. It would suck to learn how to do this for an 8 hr smoke.

Pork butt or St. Louis spares. What kind of griddle are you working with over there?

Start with pork butt for pulled pork. Very forgiving and delicious. A good first cook to build some momentum

I love the look of your setup, but I’d recommend a fire barrier under the egg. Unfortunately, I’ve see. A few of these setups go up in flames and with all the wood on the deck, I’d be exceptionally careful!

Chicken either spatchcocked or whole is pretty easy, higher temps, 350-400 until done, I prefer indirect cooking myself.

Do a ham sam.

As soon as you can, buy a temperature controller. Good that you learn temperature control with bottom/top vents, but having it done precisely for you (especially on overnight smokes) is glorious
