I take it those are large pieces of beef (excuse my ignorance, I'm in the UK), how long do they take to be fully cooked in that way?
I bet they taste amazing

Actually they are pork shoulders, no bone. They'll cook for roughly 10 hours, give or take an hour or so. You cook until it hits 200-210 and they are falling apart. And yes, they will be pretty damn good.

What kind of smoker do you have there?

A Weber Smokey Mountain, commonly referred to as a WSM.

I've cooked pork with brown sugar and honey on top under a grill, simply fantastic.

What kind of wood are you using?

Using a few chunks of hickory wood. Coming into the home stretch now. Temp is up to about 180 and should climb pretty rapidly from here on.

You should bomb someone with a whole smoked pork shoulder!

Do you baste them or glaze them for the last 45 minutes? I try not to baste very often, "Looking is not cooking" adadge. Looks nice. My friend recently bought the same smoker.
Certainly looks yummy, good job!

Here are the completed pics. I took it off the smoker around 1:30 AM Saturday morning and pulled it shortly after that. We had it yesterday and it turned out pretty good. I also made some ABT's, but I didn't get any pics of those.

I haven't ever seen a reason to baste the pork shoulders. There is so much fat and connective tissue in them that they stay pretty juicy. Now with ribs I will spray them with apple juice during the cook to keep them juicy.
Usually with the pork shoulder, the lid is opened maybe 3 times or so during the cook. I have been pleased with my WSM. It almost makes it too easy to make good BBQ.
