Which grate for brisket in WSM?

[scott french]

Is the lower or upper grate preferred for a brisket? I have been using both racks for 6 racks of baby back ribs. But, I want to do a brisket and 3 racks of ribs.

Shouldn’t really matter, just make sure your thermometer is on whatever rack you use.

I would put it on the bottom as the brisket will have to run a lot longer, easier to load the 3 racks in the top imo

^^^This^^^. Then when the ribs are done put the brisket on the top rack.
