What kind of smoker? What kind of wood? What kind of rub? Did you brine? What temp? Are you going to foil? What IT are you going for?

Since you are obviously going for bark, you may want to read my thread in "Pork" about the "Cult of the Bark".
Sounds like a good plan. I've done a few and not foiled, however I will be doing one next weekend and think I may foil just to see if there is a difference in taste and moisture.

I had one stall at 175 for 3 hours a few weeks ago. My last one was at 168-169 for only about 2 1/2 hours.
Sounds like you may be running hotter than you think. Keep a close eye on the meats internal temp and start probing for tenderness when it gets in the 195 range. If it's done early just wrap it in foil, then a clean towel and put it in an empty cooler to rest. It'll stay hot for hours and will benefit from the rest period.
