Until it's done to your liking.

What internal temp are you aiming for?

You need to go by internal temp, not time. Here's a chart you can check out:

Like what has been said, always cook to temp, but for meal planning pourposes it will take 40 to 60 minutes a pound depending on type of smoker, and other variables.  Plan on the 60 and you can wrap and rest for several hours before serving if it gets done early.
