Ok I'm cooking tomorrow to make sure I have my fire out issue under control. I'm cooking 2 butts, 4 brisket flats and 4 baby backs. How would you guys do this? I thought about starting the butts (approximately 9 lbs. each)tomorrow night(Saturday) on the bottom shelf cap down. Then Sunday morning put the flats (5-7 lbs)on the next shelf up caps down and the ribs on the top shelf Sunday around 1pm. Cooking at 240*. Does this sound like a good plan? Most of the meat will be vacuumed in my commercial sealer so serving time is not an issue. I could put it all on Sunday am but I figure the butts will cook into the night and I like my sleep!

Put the butts in LATE Sat. You don't want them done too early.

You didn't say the weight of the flats. I figure you'll pull the PB then FTC them and they'll hold for hours.

I'd do the same on the flat, get it done and FTC. I like my meat to rest if I can.

I also like to do my ribs on a higher temp than the others.

Key is to finish earlier on the others. Trying to time them together, when you haven't done enough of them, is a challenge.

Don't sweat it, just get them done early and FTC.

Your butts are likely going to be done before the ribs go on. Since you can hold them, that should not be a problem. I put them on at 11pm for contests with a 1pm turn in.
