Hello all got a obs from the wife for christmas am doing a 4 lb pork roast. Its 15 deg out and my box temp is holding steady at 225 is this a good temp to smoke at? Also how long do i smoke/cook for?
Wow 11 people looked at my post and no one replys same with my other one thought this site was to get help and tips?
Mike if you only ask your question once it will get answered posting the same question several time all over the place folks will just look at it and not reply thinking they have already seen it or answered it elsewhere.
Oh ok sorry will keep that inmind..thanks
Hi mnmike,
Welcome,
I am new to this site as well, not new to smoking however but new to the Bradley ,
I would say 4lbs would take between 4 to 6 hrs you want about 195 internal about 1.5 hrs per pound then let it rest for 1/2 hour lightly covered in foil before you cut or pull it to allow it to relax.
Good luck.
Also the board has been slow the past few days as everyone is spending time with family.
Also keep in mind that not every one that looks at you post are members. Lots of guest stop in a look and they don't usually post.
Lurkers :D
Welcome Mike. Most folks here are not going to be able to give you a definitive time because most of us go by the internal temp of the meat. Pork roast, pork butt or pork loin? If you're looking to do pulled pork with a butt, take the IT to around 190-200. If you want sliced butt, take the IT to around 165-170. If it's a pork loin roast, take it out when the IT is at around 145-150.
Frankly, a lot of it has to do with the pig that your pork roast came from.

W E L C O M E to the Forum mnmike!
Did you say it was a loin or butt or picnic or ???
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forum...Enjoy!

Yea, a good temperature probe is a must as already reasoned above. But I have to say way to go in getting to 225 degs on a 15 deg day!
