Hello, all! I occasionally smoke boneless pork loins to make sandwiches (they are in the 3-4 lb range). This takes 2-2.5 hrs. However, with my folks coming to visit in a couple of weeks, I thought I'd do two of them, one for dinner the first night and the second to slice up and send home with Dad. I know that I'm doubling the mass of meat, so the cook times will be longer. However, they will be two separate pieces of pork with space between them, so there is more surface area exposed to the smoke. Therefore, wouldn't the cook time be LESS than doubled?

As they are two separate pieces, cooking two take the same time as one.
Think of it this way, when you cook two steaks on the grill it doesn't take twice as long. If you stacked them and then tied them together, it would take longer to cook but not necessarily twice as long.
