Time is of the essence - Brisket (17#) & Shoulder (10#) cook

My son's 2nd birthday party is tomorrow and I'm set to leave at noon assuming the meat cooperates. Put the brisket on my LBGE at 3:30pm and the butt on my SBGE at 4:00pm and have run into a few complications thus far.
1st, my pit sensor for the small is shot so I'll be manually monitoring the temp tonight.
Then came the rain, so I jacked my umbrella from the outdoor table and used cinder blocks to stabilize it. lol (rain has obviously passed but it's supposed to rain more tonight)
Now my bigger issue (maybe haha) is that the brisket seems to be cooking very quickly. The flat is at 163.6 (stoker set to 250), the point is at 151.6 and the butt is at 143.5 (cruising at 225).
Should I start making some temp adjustments now or should I wait till midnight? I'm shooting for 195-200.
I rubbed the brisket with TX BBQ Grand Champion and the butt was rubbed with Dizzy Dust (Coarse). Cen-Tex linked me his recipe for some great finishing vinegar sauce that i'll mix into the butt after it's pulled. It definitely smells like it has some zing.
The members on this board are incredible. Cen-Tex has provided me with a slew of information via PM. Can't say how invaluable our board members are...especially since Travis did the same for me my 1st brisket cook.

That's perfect. Should hold for a few hours.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

So it looks like the butt will be done early and the brisket is right on schedule (at 180). Just did a manual temp check and the butt is at 190 in several areas. It's not like butter tho like I expected but maybe that's because it needs more cooking. What's the longest I can safely FTC a butt?

Let the butt come up to 200. They should be done around the same time. You can hold a butt or a brisket 4-6hours easily. Lots
Of foil, 2-3 towels in a cooler. I've gone 12 hours that way. Looks like you are in perfect shape!Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
I'm intrigued to know more about this finishing sauce.
Does it replace the BBQ sauce? When do you add it? Recipie? -

Thanks for the recipie.
Does this sauce keep well in the fridge for later use? -
Thanks for the recipie.
1st time making so I have no clue. The instructions did say it gets better with rest. There really isn't anything in there that would make me think it wouldn't keep.
