Cooking a Butt and a Brisket at the same time

[Ryan Ko]

I am thinking of cooking a port butt and a beef brisket at the same time, one on top of the other. I would have to imagine there will be some fat dripping on whatever is on the bottom. Will this affect the cook? Which one would you put on top and bottom? I would think since the but should take longer (depending on size) for convenience the butt should be on the bottom. Any suggestions?

I think you will get replies to do either. I tend to put brisket on top.

I put the brisket on top because it always comes off first.

That is what I would do to and for the same reason. I just didn't know if there would be any issues with the fat from the brisket dripping on the butt.
