I'm going to cook a porkbutt over a brisket in a green egg, making a second rack that will be about 2 inches over the brisket. Should I be worried about the pork drippings over powering the beef or for that mater just dripping on it at all? I don't have enough room to put a drip tray under the pork or enough room to put them side by side.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks and have a great weekend

I cook pork butts, routinely, in an aluminium disposable pan. No drippings, that way.
Do I lose a small percentage of crispy bark? Yes, I do.
Does it make a perceivable difference in th' finished Product?
Nope. It don't.
Plus, I git alla th' yummy juices/renderins!
Hope this helps, Happy Cookin'!
Blue Lou So Sorry, Sir! I was away, takin' a geriatric respite (Cat-Nap ) Got up at 0520...
In answer to yer query, I'd say, if it probes tender, yup, wrap it up, as desired...
What's th' IT, now? (1 Hr. later than when ya' asked me ?)
Mr. Bones Ok so now the PBC is at 254 and the Pork Butt is at 174 Slow for sure. Its on the rack now and not hangin' anymore. And no worries thank you for gettin' back to me.
Just to let you know, that the Butt came out great, it took it a loooong time to get to 201 it took it 8 hours to get there on the PBC. I guess what ever works, and your info help me get through the stall part. thank you again.
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.
Do you think I'll lose any bark on the brisket? I'm not going to wrap it I'm going to "be patient and let it power through"
Thanks guys. This site is awesome!

Thanks for all the help, everyone loved the brisket (15 hour cook) the porkbutt took a little longer than anticipated (18 hours) but it was a bid hit also. You guys helped walk me through my concerns, lack of knowledge. You made me smarter 😜
Thanks again Kevin from NY
