Is cook time based on total meat wight in the cooker or average wieght of roast?
I am planning on cooking more than one shoulder for the first time and want to make sure I plan for enough cook time.

Hi DQ.. probably a combination of both. In my Smokette, it doesn't seem to matter if it's got two or three small butts or one butt. However, I find in my Amerique it takes longer than my Smokette times.
Do you have a probe thermometer with a cable for remote reading? If so, use it. The meat seems to be dependent on a lot of things like amount of fat to render, and maybe overall thickness.
You might go to Smoken Okie's tutorials. Go to the Cookshack site and click on Community and then on Smokin's Guides. You are probably looking at about 2+ hours per pound.

Think in terms of your largest piece of meat.
Thanks for the replies and good info. I'll be cooking today and again tomorrow with this advice in hand.
