My wife picked up two briskets, each aboiut 8.5 lbs. It generally takes me about 11 to 12 hours on the WSM to cook one brisket of that size. Any estimates of how much longer for two?
 
My experience with my WSM was the top grate cooked faster so my opinion is 1-2 hours longer for the one on the bottom grate. I always put the bigger piece of meat on top.
 
Dale, do you use water in the pan? Those that cook without water would put the bigger piece on the bottom grate. That's the hottest area. Just the reverse of normal
 
I always used water when I cooked with a bullet. I retired mine when i got the Spicewine. My nephew loves the WSM now. Thats been almost 4 years ago. Time flies.
 
Well, what an odd BBQ experience. Put them both on (with water in the pan) and the temp increased much quicker than I anticipated. But, had a loong stall at 170, and again at 180ish. Ended up taking one off at about 10.5 hours, with an internal temp of 195, and the other one off at about 11 hours at 193 degrees F. Quick cook, but they were both tender and tasty. Thanks for the support.
