ribs over brisket

Unknown

Please tell me if this is a crazy idea. I'm considering a double cook--brisket on lower rack and pork ribs above, both seasoned with Dizzy Pig rub. Will this work? If so, do I need to divert the drippings from the ribs or let it baste the brisket?
Thanks for the input.

memphis10c,[p]I've seen many posts about cooking butts over brisket, but not ribs. As long as you plan properly, I don't see why it wouldn't work out. Of course you'd want to make sure you were not having "raw" rib juice dripping on a practally done brisket.[p]I have never done a "stacked" cook, so maybe one of the eggers with experience will chime in.

memphis10c, I'd be cool with basting. I just would not want to put chicken above another meat. You might want to watch your bark development on the brisket to make sure the rib juices don't wash away the brisket rub. You can always sprinkle on more rub, if need be. [p]I'm welding today, so no cooking for me until maybe tonight.
Ribs do sound good! T

Sandbagger, you know, I worried about the bark washing off when I did two butts above a brisket, but it didn't. I expected it would happen and had my bottle of Cowlick at hand ready to reapply. Boy the drip pan sure had a lot in it, but the bark on the brisket was essentially in tact. Guess I got lucky.
