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!

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.
