Well I put it on at 9:30 Sunday morning, ASSUMING it would take roughly 1.5 hrs/lb. I had it set at 225 with some hickory and mesquite in my Smokin-It electric smoker. It sat in the low 160s for hours, I turned it up to 250 around 4:30 pm, it wasn't ready until 7:30! Next time I'll use a little more wood, went with the less wood smoke is better than too much smoke motto this time. Turned out nice and juicy with a slight smoke flavor. The Smokin-it doesn't seem to produce much of a smoke ring, but as long as I get tasty results I don't really care.
