If you're cooking time is too long than you need to find the sweet spot concerning time, heat and weight. That's called BBQing and the job description of a real pit master. If BBQ was easy everyone would be doing it.
There's also braising if BBQing or grilling is too difficult. 
Myron Mixon is a world class BBQ master. He likes to cook hotter and faster than most BBQ masters and he keeps winning......

Regular smokers vs Orion Cookers are two totally different type of cooking processes. I know the long and slow method and have used it for years with great results. You have to change your cooking method when using the Orion. I have tried many different ways and have gotten good results with my current steps.
Here are some comments from the Orion pages that other have used. Yes you can have a good brisket done at 2.5-3 hrs.
