Pork shoulder and brisket together

[scandall]

Good afternoon to you all, I haven't posted ever and thought this would yield some results.
I received a "z" grill and smoked a pork butt on it. Came out great. Now I'm looking for answers about smoking a pork shoulder and brisket at the same time. Lots of company coming so I don't have time to do one and then the other using different woods. I've got my meats; a 7 lb. brisket point and a 7 lb B/I shoulder. Can this be done successfully? Your comments are greatly appreciated! Thank you, Scandall!

If they both fit on the grill, they can be successfully cooked together. Would be the same target IT, I assume? Just will have to rotate the meat on the grill as the cook progresses for hot spots. Otherwise go after it and git it done. What temp you running?

What SmokinEdge said, as long as they both fit, I don't see any reason why you can't cook them both at the same time.

Only suggestion I would make is not to just use oak or mesquite. Lighter or fruit woods usually better for the pork.

Thanks, I went to 225 but averaged around 215. They are looking great so far!

Sounds like solid advice from the others. But, my question is.....Where and when do we eat? Welcome to the forums from Mississippi!
