Question For The Smoking Gurus

[seemore]

seemore here.  I have an 8 pound pork butt and a 7 - 8 pound brisket.
They are for tomorrow's noon get-together.
QUESTION:  At what time should I put these on the smoker tonight in order to have them ready by noon tomorrow?
BONUS QUESTION:  Should the brisket be on top of the butt or vice versa???

Many Thanks!!!!!

From my limited experience, I'd say...

1)   Now!
2)   Brisket on bottom until you dump/refill water pan/go to bed, then flip/rotate/switch.

I'm with squirt, right now.

If that is the only thing in your smoker, I might would leave the brisket on top the whole time.

Put the brisket on top racket and butt on third rack.

you are probably looking at 14 to 16 hrs at 210 to 220 temp, plus you need to watch how low temp is going to go down to tonite.

I've got two butts going since 10:30 this morn. Probably gonna be 10:30 tomorrow morning before they are done.

If it 's not done in time, you can always tell them how good it was gonna be. ;D ;D

Hey, classic!
We put them in at 8:15.  The outdoor temp is going to get down to 34 tonight.
Save one of those butts for me;  i may need it!   :-[
You will be a half-a**, so to speak!!!!!   :-[

Ray, good one!  I could hear the rimshots after that one-liner!

[Tenpoint5]

I was thinking more on the lines of
Spots on the wall by Who flung Poo
Fifty miles to the outhouse by Willie Makeit   illistrated by Betty Dont
there's a couple more but this is a family site ;D

[Quarlow]

I am going to name my next trucking company " Ben Dover transport". How appropriate.

[seemore]

Yet another rimshot!
