Plan for about 35 minutes per pound at 225F, roughly 2 hours for a typical 3 lb cut. Pull it at 135F internal. Very lean — pull at 130-135F max and rest, or it turns dry and livery. Bard with fat.

Cook to temp, not time
Every smoke is different. A good wireless thermometer is the single best upgrade for consistent BBQ: set the target temp and cook until it hits.
