I have the same smoker.  I am really curious to your time and temps as well.

That thing looks great!  What sauce did you use on it?

 

[alelover]

I smoked it for 4.5 hours at around 225. An hour per pound. Mopped it with an apple juice and Sweet Baby Ray's syrup mixture i made. Thanks for the good words.

No brine. Internal temp was 170-175.
