Brisket flat on top and Pork Butt on bottom?

twisterbret · 06-04-2009, 04:33 PM

I'm cooking a brisket flat and 2 pork butts tomorrow in a Backwoods Party. (Vertical smoker). Should I place the brisket above or below the butts? Will one juice effect the others taste? I will be wrapping the flat at 165. Maybe swap once I wrap the brisket?

Thanks

When I do that I put the butts on top.......

put the butts on top you might want to reseason when you wrap the brisket.

I generally don't like putting pork over anything but pork (the same goes for chicken).

I would put the flat over the butts for 2 basic reasons: One, there is less of a chance of cross contamination this way and two, the flavor of my brisket rub is milder than that of My pork butts. (But reason 1 is the big one.)

I cook my briskets in a separate cooker all together than any of my pork products..... but that is because I am allergic to pork, and this way I don't cross contaminate my brisket and chicken...

I eat the brisket and chicken, and the rest of the family eat it all.....

I really miss the ribs, pulled pork, chops, ham, sausage, etc....

BFoster · 06-04-2009, 10:27 PM

I just put the butts on top because they usually finish faster than the brisket by a few hours. With a flat....I'd actually put the beef over the pork. Just wanted to throw a stick in the wheels I guess.

Bacon on top of a burger, applies the same in this theory with the butts on top.
