    Butt and bristket?

    Do it all the time, along with all sorts of other meats and snacks. IF you have a vertical smoker, I would put the beef above the pork or put the pork in a pan, pork juices dripping down on other meats may present a problem for the food saftey police.

    Foiling

    You may need to try a process a couple times to get a good judgement of it. Your rub, when you rub, do you inject, what you inject all has a play in the way your meat turns out. Some people have to foil at 165-170 just to soften up their barq. MANY different ways of doing, none are wrong and...

    what is over kill?

    No, that's "common", Overkill is when you have a critter on the ground,not moveing,no signs of life, and you give'm 4 more rounds. Now this analogy came from the "Southern Iowa Finer Explanation to fancy words"

    Ribs too dark????

    OK, was these "burnt" or just super deep dark mahogany or charred? Big difference, If they tasted fine, I still assume, that it was deep mahogany colored. This can come from Hickory if used as your heat and not a supplement for flavor.OR was you burning a big fire too cool,creosote?

    Ribs too dark????

    Did you burn all wood? If so, what type of wood did you use? Some woods can give a darker color to the meat or it could be from heat to high. Have you checked your pit thermo? It could have came from a nasty flare up, pit hit a high temp for a bit, you may not have seen happen.
