The two 4 butt smokes I did were each about 33 lbs and they both came in right around 12 hrs without counting the resting period. That's cooking til the internal temp was 197 on top & 193 on bottom racks.

And, another interesting thing... I loaded the bottom grate about 30 min ahead of the top grate - and still, they were all done at once. Amazing!
Ok, I'll guess:

I guess that if they are that done in 12 hours at 225... then you mean 225 measured by the dome therm, which means you're actually cooking around 250.
