Hi John. For your first cook, I would go for something more like pork butt or chicken. This is more of a cost thing where if it doesn’t turn out, you haven’t invested a lot into the meat cost. I would also wait until you have a few cooks under your belt before cooking for friends/family (ask me how I know). It’s not so much that the food won’t turn out, but that you will have a hard time figuring out when it will be done. Nothing worse that having guests waiting around to eat and they don’t understand how BBQ cooking works.
Check out my YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkfgFhBbDsMfEQuBp2uWWDA for some typical cooks I have done. There is even one there on brisket if you still want to try and tackle that one. There are videos there that probably answer all of the questions you have. Good luck!
