So I have a party where I am going to cook an 8 lb beef shoulder, 15lbs pork butt and one brisket.  I have never cooked this much food, I know it will fit, but does anyone know will it take much longer than cooking lets say 10 lb butt.  I was going to put it on at midnight (friday) and pull it off between 2 and 4PM saturday.  This would be a 14-16 hour cook.  Is this enough time or am I pushing this much meat - should I give more time in your opinion.  Thanks

    Never wrestled with that much meat in one shot (or the variety) but absent anything else, assuming (hate that word) you can keep each hunk separate in the BGE,  then their respective cook-times will be quite close to a stand-alone cook for each.  That said, I would estimate long and rely on the FTC to even everything out.  Good luck, enjoy the journey and let us know how it sorts out.

    Don't over complicate it, use a meat thermometer, keep check on the dome temp, it's all easy and good.
