Cook time

[Jimbo887]

I'm going to smoke 2 briskets in my Cookshack smoker. My question : do I need to increase the time. When I smoke 1 , it's a 15 hr cook at 225 and I pull it off at 195. I have a Cookshack 008.
Thanks in advance.

As long as both pieces of meat are similar size and you're not blocking air movement around them, they should cook as fast as one piece. 15 hours @ 225° seems like a very long time. How big a hunk of meat are you normally cooking?

It's usually a packer brisket that I get at SAMs , comes out very tender. Weight is around 13

I've run almost 16 hours on a full packer........and like Steve said, given enough space they should cook independently. Just keep an eye on them, if they are slacking go ahead and crank things up to 250+. Little more heat never hurt.

Jimbo887 - what Jerod said. I will tell you to make certain that you keep both meats from touch on the grills else they will cook as one LARGE clod of meat instead of two different cooks. Touching meat will dramatically increase you cooking times. ENJOY!

How did it go?

Got any photos of your finished briskets?

Thanks for the advice, I'm doing the cook for this Saturday, also doing 2 butts as well.
