Before I ask this question let me preface this with I do know that it varies depending on the smoker, weather conditions, cut of meat etc.... to reach the right temp for the meat. But everything I have been reading says that beef seems to take 1.5 hrs/lb to cook. I also know that other roasts pork shoulders for example also take 1.5 hrs/lb except those get cooked to 190 deg. plus where as the prime rib I am going to be looking for mid 100's.
So my question is do I need to really plan on 1.5 hours/lb for this almost 9 lb roast?
And should I cut it in half for 2 4.5 lb roasts?
