Lamb Barbacoa in Oven, How Long?

[ThaFlash_LA]

I'm looking to do a goat barbacoa recipe with some extra lamb shoulder I got. My recipe calls for 4 hours at 325 for a 6-8lbs shoulder, but I have about 3lbs. I have never cooked lamb like this beforeI have no idea how long I should put it in for. Half weight, half time sounds reasonable but at the same time, my gut tells me it's not that simple.

Could you taste it after 2 hours and see how you like it? Lamb barbacoa sounds really good. Could you share the recipe?

Here are a couple of recipes that uses a 3 lb and a 6-8 lb shoulder

Just to give you some idea of cooking times and temps

I think the recipe is the same one as the first link provided by scubadoo97, they look identical.

I wanted to prevent opening up the contraption and tasting multiple times as I'd rather have a better starting point than my guess of 2 hours, but it looks like 2 hours is right amount of time. Thanks.
