Hmm. Well, I would have to start with some basic questions. Are you cooking all of this to be served at one big meal with a lot of people to eat at a certain time? Or are you just cooking for the fun of it and plan to portion it up and freeze some for later and eat some during the week-end? I'm trying to figure out how much time you have.

Are the briskets flats or whole briskets? Is the pork butt going to be made into pulled pork?
He doesn't have a smoker or any of that food. He's lonely and looking for conversation.
Guy bought 30 lbs of meat and has no idea how to cook it. That's hilarious.
But he didn't. He eats cut up microwaved hot dogs in mac and cheese

i'm sure he knows how to cook it. i think he's just looking for any outside tips on improvements or changes.

I mean, a brisket is cooked at 225 to 250 for about an hour to hour and half per pound. Its done when the internal temp is 175. Take it off and wrap it for at least an hour to rest. If you did nothing more than salt and pepper it right before you cooked it. Cooked it fat side up. And monitored the temp, then you would have a pretty good result.

If you are cooking 2, at the same time, then i would suggest rotating them every hour or two. They are not going to cook the same in two different positions. If they are on different racks, one above the other, then i would at least rotate them every hour. And probably expect the cooking time to be a little bit more. For 2 10 lb briskets, you might be looking at 15 hrs or more of cooking time.

You could Google his cooking/smoking knowledge and have a much better meal on you fake Weber.
