Pulled Beef Time Question?

@dougbacker posted some nice picks recently of pulled beef. He had a 2.5 lb roast and cooked it at 275 (wrapping at 160 IT). He said it took him about 4 hours and 20 minutes. Mine is 3.3 Lbs and I'm cooking at the same temp...275. I'm guessing I'm looking at about 6 hours if I wrap at 160ish. Does that sound about right? Thanks in advance.

    Beef has to cook longer than pork and it cooks a lot slower --  i kind of get up around 210 to 215 and test it before pulling it off the grill ofr it's rest period.  Probably hard to tell without a thermometer.

    I run around 250*F on the dome with about a 3# Chuck and see about 5 hours to the 160*F point where I then put in an aluminum pan, foil and take it to around 210*F.  That's about another 2-3 hours-then time to rest and pull.  Here's a link for an eggcellent recipe but I forgo all the dutch oven sauce work.  Audible as you go-take notes and change it up the next time-
