MES 130B smoking question on time

[TheRodFather]

Hi everyone quick question. I’ve smoked on a propane smoker b4 but recently switched to the MES 130B. I’m looking to smoke a 10lb pork shoulder but I’m kinda up in the air with how much time I should allow and what temp to use. Sorry for the minor question I feel silly but I just feel like it’s a different ballgame going from propane to electric...thanks

canned answer: don't smoke to time, smoke to temperature.
the higher the temp, the shorter the smoke,
the lower the temp, the longer the smoke

I would say, about the same amount of time, should be fire, pellet, gas, or electric, its just a heat source. the inside of the smoker don't care what the source of the heat is. 250 degrees is the same all around. if'n ya have other issues, speak up.

^^^ What he said^^^

If you're going to wrap, take the IT to 155-165 then wrap in foil until IT reaches 200-203.

If unwrapped, shoot for IT of 203-206 or thereabouts
