10lb smoke time

[Ashley89]

Just brought a smoker and a 10lb pork leg and wondered how long you guys would recommend smoking it for??
Going to be using some hickory wood chips for smoke.

Well your probably looking at 2 hours per pound at 225. But we don't smoke to time, we smoke to internal meat temp.
And if your goal is pulled pork, your gonna want to take that leg to 200-205. I'm assuming this is a back leg with the ham on it. If you have a whole front leg & shoulder the process would be the same. Could you be more explicit about the exact cut of meat you have, it would be much more helpful if we knew a few more details. Also what smoker do you have & where are you located. I think with a few more details we could help you much better.

Hi there and welcome!

What are you trying to make?

At 275F meat takes around an hour or a little more per pound but as Al said we go by the meats Internal Temperature (IT) using thermometers. Also as Al requested, more info will help with the answers :)

so i believe this is an offset smoker and the meat is a shoulder, i have cut it down to 4lb for this try.
i do have a food thermometer so i can check the internal temp.

thanks so far guys
