Help me /ck/ you are my only hope.

Actually I am looking for input on what I should make first in my new smoker.

Yesterday I purchased one of those Pit Barrel Smokers and it should be arriving later this week and I was wondering what would be easiest to smoke first.

My local Costco has the cheapest prices on meat around the area and has pork shoulder, prime brisket, baby back ribs, and St. Louis style ribs.

Which of the choices would be good for a first time user of a smoker to make?

Also from what I read the Pit Barrel Cooker was a decent and cheap smoker to get started on, is this true or has the internet merely led me astray yet again?

Well how should I do it then? Any special rub or sauce to mop it with?

A pretty typical recipe would be:

Make a dry rub from equal parts brown sugar, coarse salt, and paprika. Rub this all over the meat.

Put the pork shoulder in the smoker with the fat side up and smoke for about 6 hours at about 250F. At that point take the meat out of the smoker, wrap it in foil, then put it back for another hour or two until it's fall-apart tender.

Pull the pork, then sauce it.
