    Point or Flat - Which gets done first?

    Happy New Year all. Generally speaking, at 225* which part of the brisket will reach 160/170* first? Also, since I can't fit a 12-14 pound packer in my MES 30 can I split the point from the flat, cook them together and still get great results? Thanks and keep on smokin'.
