Smoker temp 225-250

Give 2 hours per pound plus another 2 hours as a cushion.

Don't cook to time, cook until they reach an internal temp of 225.

Smoke them the first cpl hours.  After that the meat tightens up and does accept much smoke so your just wastin wood.  ...Plus you can over do the smoke and get a bitter taste.  I agree with S2K9K: 2 hrs per lb then add 2 hrs for planning purposes..  You'll be in that range to get to your target temp.  If it's done earlier than expected hold in a Faux Cambro.

Here is a link to my last shoulder smoke. The rub is enough to do 5 shoulders. With a MES you will want to only fill the water pan about 1/2" deep, you will collect juices and most of the moisture stays in the cook chamber.

Please note my cook went unusually fast. I think because I was at a higher temp, but I had planned on the 2hr per pound and the rest time of 1-2hrs. I only bring mine to 200 IT, due to carry over cooking during the rest they tend to climb in temp still. I also like mine to have a bit more texture and body even after the mixing in of the finishing sauce I choose at the time.

Have fun....
