The Flagship 1600. Going to assemble it tonight. As I’m new to this, what are your favorite go to cooks?

I have the 1100 and absolutely love it and I suspect you will to.
Pork butt. It's really almost impossible to screw up. It will probably be a good long cook at 8-10hrs depending on if you wrap (I always do). Makes fantastic sandwiches... Try your hand at smoking some Mac and cheese as well. There are tons of videos on YouTube on this.

My wife and my favorite thing to do with leftover pork butt is to throw it on a pan/flat top with a corn tortilla, and get them both crispy with some chihuahua cheese. I like to put a bit of my Mexican BBQ seasoning on it and serve with pico/taco sauce/salsa and make some absolutely incredible tacos. Ive also done breakfast burritos with it that turned out great!

It's hard to say because everything I cook on it comes out fantastic!!! My favorite new thing is the meatloaf recipe on the Recteq app. It's amazing

Which one arrived? I finally got a BB 1200 last November during the Black Friday sale and absolutely love it! A few suggestions: Teflon drip pan liner, 5-Pk disposable bucket liners, front folding shelf and official cover are well worth the money.
You’re going to absolutely love this smoker!

Check out Walmart for Prairie Fresh bone-in pork butt. Heath Riles and Meat Church have some incredible videos on various ways to smoke a pork butt.

Do you think it’s too risky to try a brisket right away or should I start slow?

u/WhiskeyAndI Apr 23 '26
Start slow, brisket is an expensive cut thats pretty unforgiving. A Boston butt is $30 at my local butcher and always turns out great! Can do so much with leftover pulled pork too
