Over Christmas I received a BPS. Smoked pork tenderloin with it and it was great. Now the request is to smoke a rolled roast about 2-3 pounds for some pulled beef sandwiches. Through searching I have figured out i need to get it to an IT of 190 then FTC for a couple hours. The post I found that list a time are usually talking about a lower IT 140-160 ish.
So my question is how long can I expect it to take to get to 190. Dinner is at 6 so I was thinking at starting at 8AM but I'm not sure if that is right.
Thanks

That should be enough time for a 2 - 3 lb roast. If it's done early the FTC will hold the temp. Remember, no peeking ;). If you're lookin', it ain't cookin'.
If you want pulled beef - take the temp to 180-190.
I've found that the BPS is more sensitive to ambient temps and wind, due to less(no) insulation of the "cabinet"(cover)
I'd say your looking at 5-8 hours on that roast to get to your target temp, you can always FTC it if it gets done early.
Welcome Duramax.
Let us know how it turns out.
