I have a four pound rib roast I'm gonna put on the smoker at about 225. Does anyone have a guess as to how long it will take to reach 120 internal temp?

The die hard smoker's will be along shortly, not I...  They'll need your start temp, straight out of the fridge or room temp?

Is it 'bone-on' or have the bones been removed. If so, were they tied back on?

I'm gonna guess a minimum of 4 hours to get the center to that temp using 220 degree smoke. Wet smoke vs. dry smoke makes a bit of difference too.

Using a WSM with a sand filled water pan. 4 hours is about what I was thinking but would hate to overcook a $80 junk of meat and want to to be ready when it's time to eat

Once you hit the 3 hour mark, check it about every 20 minutes with your thermometer.


Given the relatively low temperature in the smoker, it's not like it will go from raw to charcoal in 20 minutes.

Can you guys explain this?  Is it for mass and do you add water to the sand?

Thanks

The sand is for thermal mass, helps stabilize the temps with out being the big waste of fuel/messy clean up that water is. cover sand with Tinfoil and toss Tinfoil at end of the cook.

Thanks, Clint.
