Hi, I just bought almost 5lbs of a pork sirloin roast. What should I set my temp on?? About how long should it take to cook?? I'm smoking it tomorrow and advice would be GREAT Thanks
I would put this http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?467-Jan-s-Dry-Rub&p=718#post718 rub on it.
Smoke @225F with your favorite wood until the IT is 145-150F - that should take ~3 hours.
FTC if you need to, Slice and Serve.
I'd smoke/cook at about 220-225. I like hickory or apple on pork but of course it's up to you.
Put the pork on the counter while you preheat the smoker. I like simple S&P and a little garlic sprinkled on.
I'd guess at 2.5-3 hours. But, use a probe and watch it REAL CLOSE after the IT goes over 100. The temp can go up really quickly. I'd pull it at 145-150, wrap it and let it rest for a while.
Welcome to the forum and good luck!
Thanks so much your posts are a great help. Where should I leave my vent??

1/2 open
At least half open. And don't close it down after the smoke period.
I'd leave the vent full open. Mine is stuck there.
