I wanna use my smoker for the first time. What cut of meat is the most forgiving for a first timer to try?

Pork butt. It's almost impossible to screw it up.

Sounds good. Length of time on a 7lb'er?

12-14 hours if you're doing low and slow (225).

It takes a very long time - at least 1.5 hrs/lb. But there's no set time. You want to get the internal temp up around 200 if you're pulling it. It's going to stall at 165-170 for at least an hour.
