Started it at 9am at 225. Was thinking that at 1.5 hours per pound it would come off the smoker around 3pm. Nope. It's still on with a temp of 174 and slowly climbing. Seriously working on my patience!

For something to do while waiting I decided to make fresh rolls for pulled pork sandwiches.

Then, those were done and I'm still waiting--put together some fresh bbq sauce.

Guess I need to find something else to do for a while. Maybe I'll go for a run to burn off the meal before I eat it.....

Will post pics of the finished product soon

Turn up the heat next time, that 4 pound hunk of meat gets done in 5 hours or less if you cook at 275°IMHO. I cook mine between 300° and 325° and cook times range from 40 to 50 minutes per pound. And no, quality does not suffer and you get to eat at a reasonable time of day.

Patience is a smokers best friend, you know that the wait is worth it, but man it is a hard thing to master! At least you bussied your self on other important projects! Me I just sit and stare at the smoker and drink more beer!!! LOL

It looks GREAT! I would suggest you check the set temp of your smoker against a know thermometer. Most smokers are off right out of the box. Remember patience! It is done when it is done.

Happy smoken.
