Newbie to beef on the WSM

Hi all, while I'm not a newbie to the WSM (I've done several pork butts, several chickens, and several turkeys), I am a newbie to smoking beef.

I'm wanting to give some beef a shot this weekend, with the goal of having some sandwiches and using the leftovers for chili. I've browsed the forum, and frankly, I'm overwhelmed by the number of great ideas and the information.

So, my questions:
1. What cut of beef? Brisket? Tri-tip? Something else?
2. Is there a particular recipe I should use?
3. Any pointers for smoking beef vs. the various things I've tried before?
 
Travis,

First, welcome aboard!

I'd try this or your own version of it. It's basically fool proof and makes outstanding sandwiches.

And another shredded beef.

You can add the BBQ sauce for sammies or what I like.
Leftovers without the sauce are good for tacos,nachos and chili. I like oak(red) on beef. Pecan or hickory also.

Good luck and welcome to the board!
