Briskit, Butts, and Ribs...

Well I know sooner or later this would happen. After bringing in BBQ leftovers to work for the last few months I have been propositioned to have a cookout for friends and family of my Boss at their house on Friday. They requested that I cook up some Pulled Pork and Ribs. They decided on 2 Butts that avg between 10-15lbs, and 3 full racks of baby back ribs.

I myself want to throw on a brisket I picked up this week, weighs 7lbs and is pretty well trimmed. Now I have a good idea on what I want to do with the Butts and Ribs. My question is what exactly should my process be with the Brisket. Because of the other meats being cooked I cant really do a High heat cook.

After looking into the process some more 1-1.5hrs per pound is the normal cook time. But that people by the sounds of it are cooking till an internal temp of 160-165°F foiling it returning it too the WSM and pull when tender (meat probe or fork inserted and removed with little resistance against the meat grain). Letting it rest for 20-40mins in a cooler, then slice 1/4 - 1/2in thick slices.

So if there is anything I am missing in regards to cooking the brisket. Please let me know. Thanks...
 
Eric,
Just a suggestion but why dont you cook the butt and brisket a day a head of time and reheat at the party. You can then do your high heat briskt. The day of all you have to do is worry about the Ribs. It will be a much more relaxing cook for you. Plus you will soon realize that your butt and brisket always taste better the next day!
 
I forgot to add I would pull the pork when it is done and put in foil pans then into the refridge. The day of pour enough apple juice into the bottom of the pan or if your transfering to a roaster to cover the bottom. Heat between 150-200 degrees on the roaster oven.
Brisket leave whole slice or chop after you have reheated. I would shoot for a temp of 165-170 internal. Same thing with the apple juice.
