Title: Brisket and Rib cook time

Hey Everyone.
I am going to smoke a 5# brisket and 2 racks of ribs for tomorrow's Super Bowl. Would like them ready for game time 530ish central. Any suggestions on smoke/cook time for the both.
Thanks

Gus has you set up. Give yourself plenty of time on the brisket. You can always FTC for a few hours if it is ready ahead of time.

What kind of ribs? If they're baby back I use the 2-1-1 method. Two hours of nothing but smoke and heat, 1 hour sealed in foil with 1/2 cup apple juice and 1 hour bare on the rack to firm them up. The last 20 minutes gets a coating of Vermont Pig Candy, made partially from the apple juice and rib drippings. Cooking temp for each stage is kept at 225*F.

I did this last week and they turned out almost perfect. Next time I think I'm going to try a 2-1.5-1 method and a bit more spice in the dry rub and Pig Candy. My wife thinks they're already too spicy. I and a dinner guest thought they could use a little more kick.

I've read that regular spare ribs should use the 3-2-1 method. Same process at each stage, just longer cooking times.
