What shall I smoke next weekend?

I have a new smoker and am getting into this hobby. Still a ton to learn but I’ve mastered pulled pork and ribs and am getting good at brisket. I want to fire it up again on Saturday — what can the board recommend for me? It’s a gravity fed charcoal smoker, Masterbuilt 1050. I love it, super easy to use and it does a great job. Just want to do something I haven’t done yet.
TIA!

if you haven’t done chicken, do some chicken.
second best way to eat chicken behind fries.
Smoked wings are maybe my favorite thing to make.
super easy and super fast

I had been dissatisfied with my country style pork recently, so I tried something different. I only let them smoke for about 2.5 hours, then put them in a lasagna tray with a mixture of Moppin' sauce and Franklin's pork BBQ sauce. Covered with foil and let them go another 6 hours. Best thing I have done in a while.

Smoke a turkey. I love smoked turkey.
Throw on some mushrooms and some sort of tomatoes. Those would make a great tasting pasta sauce and/or soup. Smoke some onions too.

For some reason, just watching that guy grosses me out.

I smoked some jerky Friday. It's quick, easy and good.

Get a pork belly, brine it for a week and then smoke it to make your own bacon-------you won't regret it.
I've got over 10 lbs. of pork belly in mine right now smoking for another 3 hours before I pull it to cool and then refrigerate until tomorrow so I can slice it up and vacuum seal it for the freezer.

Not sure if you did this or not, but first thing you need to do is run it empty before you put anything else in there. Instructions should tell you how. My Masterbuilt is on the lower end and is a box smoker that I manually feed chips through the bottom. It told me to run it at 275 for 3 hours to burn off any factory residue.
When you want to start cooking, a pork belly/burnt ends is probably the easier to try out. Lots of difference recipes and they're fairly foolproof. Invest in a good meat thermometer that you can poke at and get instant readings. We have a dual probe setup that stay in the smoker and have a separate receiver to tell us the temperatures of both probes. It can be set to where it notifies you when it reaches a specific temperature on either probe.

Did some salmon for my wife last Friday on the smoker.
She loved it as an alternative option during lent.

Tri-Tip. Quick smoke to 125-130 (depending on your preferred doneness), then a hard sear on the grill. Best thing I've ever smoked.
Chicken is super simple- I've even smoked boneless/skinless breasts with good success. I thought for sure they would be hockey pucks.
Pork loin is great- smoke then slice for sandwiches or thicker sliced like chops
Cream cheese is delicious- highly recommend Everything Bagel Seasoning

Smoke something you normally smoke but this time, use the 1050 to see how it compares.

Smoked meatloaf is insanely good. You’ll never cook it in the oven once you try it.
