Starting SLC ribs 3-4 hours into a pork butt cook

April 9, 2017, 09:25 AM

Currently using an 18" Weber Smokey Mountain and would like my pork shoulder to be done at the same time as my SLC ribs. I'm planning on starting the pork shoulder on the lower level, then throwing the ribs on the upper level 3-4 hours into the cook. Is it ok for the rib juices to drip on top of the butt as it cooks? Any contamination concerns there?

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

Welcome to The Pit. As long as you are cooking at normal smoking temps, there should be no problem with cross contamination. Once the surface temps of the meat reaches ~ 160*, the nasty critters are killed almost instantly.
