Double stacking briskets for a cook

JMCXL

inknow this sounds stupid but I have not tried this yet... Any reason not to stack briskets on 2 layers above one another. Thinking the juice from one will drip on the other for nice flavor. Looking for some help with this.

thanks Jay

below is my setup

I believe that is the impetus behind the AR R&B combo. Rock it!

No reason not to.  You can rotate halfway through, or after they shrink you might be able to get both on the same grate. 

I seem to remember somebody here did 4 briskets on an XL once goot their daughter's wedding....

Thanks pgprescott and GoooDawgs for the thumbs up. I will proceed.  More photos will follow.

Brisket is on (9am) I had to go with the 2 Flats - last minute cook and could not get a full packer (Thats one disadvantage with Northern NJ).  Even Costco doesn't sell the full brisket.  All is good - I will follow the same rules for cooking a full brisket - watching TEMP very closely.

Rock on, brother.

maybe check temp after a few to see if one elevation is cooking unevenly. Rotate as needed.

Next time, you might find packers at Restaurant Depot.

All things being equal (which they definitely aren't in brisket world) the top one should cook faster due to being higher and the dome reflective heat.  FWIW-

Thanks everyone been watching them close , just foiled them. So far all good

this time I remember to let them sit for 15 minutes for the temp to drop a little before FTC

Martian heads for the win.  Love me sprouts off any grill machine.

I need to get back into the brisket.  Make some good chilli.  Yours looks great.

How’d the brisket turn out?

Wasn’t my best, flavor was fine. Think I will go with a whole packer from here on. I like cooking a 18# much more than just a Flat.
