Hi Everyone. I am new to smoking. I just got a Brinkmann Gourmet Electric smoker. I am going to attempt to smoke a pork shoulder tomorrow morning. I have heard that I should let it cook 60 min per pound and since I'm using an electric that I need to double that time. If you guys have any tips please let me know. I look forward to reading the forums and learning how to smoke.

Hey Bryan welcome to SMF. Sign up for the 5 day course if you havent already.

To answer your question I give 1.5hrs/lb for pork. Then I giver another hours or 2 to allow it to rest when its done.
 
Welcome to the site Bryan. Be careful, it's addictive.

As for the average time per pound. It's good for planning your day but don't get married to it. Meat can do funny things. The best way to know when it's done is to temp it. Sometimes they go a little faster. Sometimes a little slower and you start to think "what's wrong?". Well, most of the time... nothing. It's just part of it.

And I totally agree with the five day course. Well worth your time. It was worth mine any way.

Good luck and don't forget to post your q-view. If there are no pics... it never happened.

Hello Bryan and welcome to SMF - you will find lots of great help here
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome. I've had the 3 and a half pound pork roast on for 7 hours now and the temp is around 150, so I wrapped it in foil to see if that will help.
