So there I was walking past the meat counter and I heard ... "Hey Don. Wouldn't you like to smoke something for Memorial Day?" I spun around, but didn't see anyone. Then "Hey, stupid, down here.

And here's supper tomorrow night, in the raw.

and into the fridge until tomorrow morning. I've never done a pork roast before. Its 3.75 pounds. Allowing 1.5 hours / pound @ 225 says about 6 hours in the smoker. Anyone out there got a better number for how long to allow?
 
Yes, that is the Rib End pork roast, right next to the pork butt; equivalent to smoking a Prime Rib in beef!  Many times they're cut in half lengthwise and sliced into country style ribs, too.  Should be an excellent smoke!
 
Pops ... you called it. Excellent smoke!



After about 5.5 hours in the smoker it looked like:







Let it rest for a while, then "Oh boy! It's supper time!"







Karol made a nice spinach / avocado / pear salad. I sautéed some mushrooms / onions and the meal looked like:







Karol says I can smoke this anytime.
