Can I do a brisket and a pork shoulder at the same time on my weber kettle? I'd use my Slow and Sear, and realize that the Pork Shoulder is going to take less time than the Brisket. And assuming I can make both fit on the grate, what about cross contamination? Is that an issue? Seems like it wouldn't be, since I am cooking them both.

Sorry if this is a basic dumb question...but Im a pretty basic dumb guy!

Side by side if they fit and your'e comfortable with it sure. There is a chance the shoulder will take longer than the brisket that would be my guess.

I realize that fitting both on the 22" Weber may be tough. Full packer and Shoulder will be a tight squeeze.

Well, you could out the shoulder in a pan on the charcoal grate next to the S&S. Then put the brisket on the cooking grate. An 8-10 shoulder could take twice as long as the brisket that way, but it would all fit.
