Going to smoke one on my weber and smoke on in my new vertical charcoal smoker.  I've never used the charcoal smoker before.  Any idea how long I should expect it to take to smoke the loin?  is it based on weight? Is keeping the smoker at 225 the optimal temp?  I can do this blindfolded on my weber, but in this new smoker, I'm a virgin.  Any tips to the trade will be most appreciated. 

Have a great Memorial Day weekend guys! To all you veterans out there, Thank you!

I smoke my shoulders at 250 on my upright.....which has an offset firebox.  What style is yours?


For me, I cook to temp, regardless of time....190-195 on shoulders....then rest in a cooler stuffed with towels for at least two hours.

Rule of thumb on my upright is about 1.5 hours per pound, at 250.  

I'm doing 20 pounds of Boston Butt and a 15 pound turkey this Saturday myself.  Got a big ol mess of collards to whip up, and all kinds of fixins via potluck from about 40 of my closest friends, we gon' eat!

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend as well.....and always, hat's off to our wonderful men and women who served/serve. :andy:
