I had a 6 1/2 lb butt in the freezer from several months ago and decided I would smoke it and invite some neighbors over for pulled pork sammies. The wife, a lover of brisket, said we should also do a brisket so I went to Wally World and got a 10 1/2 lb packer. I told the wife to invite more people! I rubbed and then refrigerated both meats overnight (different rubs). I got a late start in the morning and got the brisket on about 5:30am and I put the butt on about 2 hours later. I was trying to get them to finish about the same time. I happen to have some JD spicy sausage and made myself a sausage and cheese fatty for breakfast. Wife liked it too.
Neighbors came over about 5:00pm but the meats were still not ready so we sat, talked and drank adult beverages. I had been smoking at about 220 most of the day but made it higher trying to force them to finish quicker. Took off brisket first, let it rest, and then served it. The people loved it. They never had brisket before.
Then the butt came off and I pulled it after about 20 minutes rest. It was enjoyed as well with burger buns and cole slaw. Had beans, potato salad, pickles, tomatoes and onions.
I did learn that I have to re-estimate my cooking times when I have several pieces of meat on for a long time.
Some pics: Brisket trimmed and ready to rub; Butt trimmed and ready to rub; Hatty, Brisket and Butt on my smoker; Fatty ready to eat; and Brisket sliced.
Neighbors want to do it again!
