Butt/brisket cook

Your butt will be fattier than the flat, so use the butt as a "baste" for the brisket.

I am doing the same combination tonight. I assume the butt will take longer to do. What sequence / temp / timing??? Suggestions appreciated.

When you say same comb. Are we talking same weights, same kind of briskets?

Thanks for the question and the answer. I will be doing a couple of packers and 3 or 4 butts to serve after my sister’s funeral Tuesday. I was planning on putting the butts on the bottom but now I know better

Thanks. Was not able to reply before today. I had an 8 lb butt and 4 lb brisket. Put the butt on at 11 PM at 200 - top rack

Added the brisket flat at 7:30 AM on the bottom. I did not have another probe so I crossed my fingers. Checked at 1 PM and the brisket was at 150. Turned up heat to full and checked again at 3:30. The butt was at 195 but the brisket had shot up to over 200.

The butt was perfect but the brisket was a little overdone. Was not too dry but I put in a crockpot with beef broth after slicing.

I got good reviews on the brisket even though it was not what I had hope for. Next time i will cook the brisket alone!

Thanks for the help.

Condolences and prayers being sent out to you and your family chef boy arnie .
