I am new to this smoker and the forum. My question is I am smoking 13lb brisket 2 10lb butts can I smoke them together. I have smoked with an offset for some time. Any input would be great Tom  also witch one on top and should i put a pan under the the one on top to catch the drippings

I would only try it with a temp probe in the smallest butt and the brisket. That way you can insure neither gets overcooked. When the smaller butt hits temp, switch the probe and pull the finished butt.

I agree with Brian.  Probe the brisket and smallest butt.  Since these are similar cuts (as far as cook times go), you should be fine!

By the way we have seen a fair amount of problems with temperature inaccuracies when people try to use drip pans. So, they are strongly discouraged.

Yea I missed that about the drip pan. Do NOT put one inside. If anything take off your stock pan and place a bigger one under the smoker. That much meat may cause an overflow of the stock pan. The last big smoke I did was nearly over capacity.

I like to place the Butts over the Brisket to let it drip down all that moist goodness over the Brisket as it all cooks. The BUTTS almost always finish before a full Packer Cut Brisket does.
