If you have the Weber, great. More likely you have an ECB.
You can make decent Q with an ECB, but you are going to have to work at it and do some research. It takes some effort to keep a good low and slow fire going for 6 to 8 hours with one of these. Google "ECB mods" to learn how to modify your smoker to make it more suitable for true smoking. Start with a pork butt of around 6-8 pounds. Keep cooking these until you get it right, then you can branch out to other meats.
