I want to smoke something that will get the taste of 2 days of turkey and ham out of folks mouths. I'm thinking of trying a brisket, but they're getting kinda pricey and hard to find. Also thinking of smoking a pork butt/shoulder.

For all the experts out there: Is the brisket worth it compared to the pork and what other types of beef cuts can be smoked?

I'd do pork butt if I were you, and get them at Boones. The quality is head and shoulders above what you will get at Kroger's, and it's cheaper. I recently went down there and picked up a 2 pack of butts for about 35 dollars. So much better than the ones I get at the grocery. I love a brisket, and Boones has some great ones, but it's now outrageous. You're looking at 100 dollars or more for a decent sized one.
