I received a Smoky Mountain Series Gas Smoker for Christmas. I am trying to smoke a Boston Butt with bone in that weighs 4.73 lbs. I have my temp right at 250 and has been there since 12:00 p.m. today. I am confused about several things. 1. Can someone give me an idea about how long this process will take? I figured about 1.5 hours per pound. Is that about the correct time? 2. I used Pecan wood chips and they stopped smoking about one hour in. So do I need to add more wood or is that 1 hour enough smoke? 3. What should my internal temp be in order to be done? 4. Is 250 degrees a good temp for smoking? I appreciate everyone's help and this is a great forum. I am looking forward to learning more about smoking all kinds of meat. Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
