Brisket and pork shoulder
this is my first time doing both together. I was planning on 250 degrees. Any idea how long it should take? Is this temp ok and not dry out the meat? Anyone suggestions would be great!!

What size are each? Will you be able to fit them on one level without touching or will you tier?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

I am going to put them on the same level they are smaller cuts. Brisket 6lbs each already trimmed and shoulder about 8lbs each. At least I hope they all fit. On a large BGE

I'd plan 1 to 1.5 hrs/lb for each but that could vary some. Both can be ftc'd without any problem so pull each when they are done and you can hold them for mutiple hours. Hopefully you can get them both on without touching one another. Make sure if either cut extends over the edge of the platesetter that you put foil under that portion to protect the meat from direct heat.

@TexanOfTheNorth In doing the tier system cook does the juices from the pork on top of the brisket make a difference in the taste? Think I may need to do the tier system. Meat is bigger than I thought.

I've never done it but it certainly could. It will definitely affect the bark.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

A better option might be to do one of the meats first and ftc it. Do the other meat "turbo" to shorten its cook time. Do a search for turbo and you'll find a number of threads discussing that method.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

Looks good so far @Lawman. For what it is worth, I have tiered butt above brisket flat a few years ago and to my recollection liked it. I got comfortable with the strategy because some suggest putting bacon on lean brisket flats to replace some fat cap, so I figured there isn't much difference. If the bark is a concern, then I would give the brisky a 2 or 3 hour head start so the bark can start to set before the butts start significant rendering. Just a thought for next time.Always seeking the high I experienced from my first true BBQ experience.

Thanks @QingEsq for the extra help. This is my first combo and wasn't sure about pork on top of beef. Sure will try next time. @TexanOfTheNorth it was a little tight but made it happen

Lawman one thing to always remember in the back of your mind is that pork fat makes almost everything taste better.Columbus, Ohio--A Gasser filled with Matchlight and an Ugly Drum.

Here is the brisket looks pretty good just came off. Pork came off at 0530 and looked just as good.

Nice! Any plated pics?

Here is the pork. Cooked a little too long but still good.

Brisket turned out pretty good. Seemed a little dry. Everyone liked it and ate it all.
