I have a Smokette 025. Assuming I have the room, will it work to do a brisket and butt on the same cook. If so, which should I put on top. thanks.

Yes. You can do a brisket and pork butt at the same time. I'd put the butt on the bottom fat side down and the brisket on top fat side up. But that's me.
I did 2 flats and 2 butts in mine. I put the flats on the bottom, fat cap down, and no trimming. Since I trim my fat cap off of the butts, it really didn't matter which way they went in. Takes longer cook time on the butts,though, so I started them early.
Don't ask how I know this...but if you FTC, you might allow for carry over cooking.
Oh!, might watch the drip pan...LOL!
Good luck!

The only restriction I have is no seafood or chicken dripping on anything else.
PB and B dripping on each other is a good thing.
No right or wrong way. I like the Pork dripping on the brisket. Others (above) like it the opposite.
Which ever is on the bottom shelf put it fat side down as a protector from the direct heat.

Yep, definitely watch that drip pan. Made a packer & two butts last summer in an 020. Meatloaf pan was filled to the brim before I thought to check it. If I recall, I put the brisket on the bottom rack, fat side down.
Like Smokin' says.
