I"m cooking 6 pork butts weighing around 7 pounds each and 3 briskets weighing about 14 pounds each in my FEC100 and I want them to be done and ready to eat about 4:00 PM tomorrow. By my calculations I ned to start the briskets around 6:00 PM tonight and the pork butts around 5:00 AM, Could someone please check my calculations and make sure I am on the right track?

Thanks in advance.

It's always a challenge doing something new so my suggestion is get them done sooner if you're worried about the timing. With that much meat, you can wrap and cooler them all day and they'll be too hot to touch.

You could put them all in around 10pm Friday, check them early and see how the temp is but they'll all be done before noon I'm sure.

That's how I do my contests timing to be ready for 1pm, so you're not that far off. The butts will be done sooner, but they can hold OR you put them in at 5 and when the briskets are done, bump the temp up to make sure they finish
