I think everyone that smokes knows that, but you still need to estimate time

If you are planning an event. If his smoker typically takes 1 1/2 per lb to get his pork butt to temp, he is aware of cooking to temp and just wants advice on what multiple butts in other smokers have done to slow the process down is all.

Same amount of time.

It doesn't really add any time if the temp is constant and there is space

should be the same - if you have 2 small shoulders then they should

I smoked 3 in my masterbuilt electric. In theory it doesn’t take much longer. A few comments, though

It shouldn't take any longer...

Don't cook for time. Cook for tenderness

Yup- some are fine at 195, others need 203+

I think they shred much easier when internal temp is 200+

It's usually been closer to 2 hours per pound for us.

I’ve always been told to plan a little more time the more you have in the smoker

It can stall longer because there is more moisture in the smoker. You are right that airflow is key
