Chisox post made me think of one other thing FWIW.........I always try to put the fat facing the heat source when possible (fat down in WSM) so if something happens and the heat gets away from me I have more protection for the meat.
IMO depends on your smoker, if you got a hot spot or something that necessitates a turn then it kind of makes you do it. Otherwise, I put them on (any meat) and don't mess with it.
I know some say fat up/fat down to start and flip part way, etc. but to me it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Found it.

Yeah, I have heard good feedback on it but have yet to try it. I miss having Rancher readily availble to run through the Stumps. Nice to have a good briq to use to avoid bridges in the chute.
If you think of it, please share your observations on the ash production.
I'd run the temps on up there then unless your smoker can't/won't hold that temp. A lower temp won't hurt it any, but there isn't much to gain by going lower.
If the outside does start to get darker than you wanted it to, just wrap it in foil for protection once it gets to the desired color.
No temp listed on the package? Remember a smoker is pretty much just an oven with the option of adding smoke. If you can make it in an oven, you can make it in a smoker.
Anyhow.......personally, I would run my heat up to about 300 and would guesstimate around 20-25 minutes per pound.
