Cooking B Butt and Brisket at same time-experts please help

Bubba Q

Just bought a polder from Williams-Sonoma, going to do a lo and slo tonight with a huge brisket and butt. My therm only has one probe, which should i monitor. I also have a leave in old shool therm but I really don't want to lift the dome until i absolutely have to. Any advice???

<p />BubbaQ,[p]I do this cook quite often and find they both finish close enough to the same time that it doesn't matter which one you start the probe in. You'll want to check them both tomorrow morning.[p]Chuck

BubbaQ,
Put the probe in the Butt. It cooks much faster than the Brisket. Sometimes 15-20 degrees faster. Did you seperate the flat from the tip? I found last week that it might help.
