Smoking to cooking ratio

[sailks]

Hi
just curious is there a recommended smoking to cooking ratio. If I cook 12 hours how many hours should I smoke

What you smoking?cooking?

The Norm is 4 hours on butts and briskets, 3 on ribs, 2ish on chicken.

Then some people like me like more smoke.

The FAQ on the Bradley website says to smoke for 50% of the total cooking time.  I think that's WAY too long and I'm surprised that they would have some information like that posted for people who are just getting into smoking to read.  Perhaps they just want to make more money selling more bisquettes.

I don't smoke anything beyond 4 hours, less than that if I'm smoking something like baby back ribs.
