How long should I smoke my pork roast and beer can chicken?

Tomorrow I'm going to be using my new grill that has a side fire box for smoking. I have a chicken brining right now and I've also set out a pork roast that I've rubbed w/ a dry rub. I bought some hickory chunks also. Was just wanting some advice as to how long to smoke either meat for. The chicken I'm doing beer can style as well. Should I wrap the roast in foil? Does that take away from the smoke flavor or hinder its ability to cook?

1. For smoking a chicken at 250 degrees, it should take anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 1/2 hours. For pork butt, the temp should be between 225 and 250. Smoke an 1.5 per pound. Also, spray your pork butt every hour with apple juice to keep it moist.
