  4. When the smoker gets going, place the prepared roast onto the center of the hot grate, over the drip pan filled with water.
  5. Put the lid on the smoker.
  6. Check the temperature of the smoker every hour, staying as close to 250 F as possible.
  7. Smoke the roast until a dark “bark” (outside crust) forms and the internal temperature of the meat is at least 160 degrees F, about 6 hours. Use a Probe thermometer to check the temperature.
