Once again I have come to ask the wise ones for their guidance:
I want to make 2 chickens and rack of spare ribs this weekend and wondered about cooking them together. Spare ribs would go on first since they take longer, but I don't want to risk some raw chicken disease killing my ribs if I put the chicken in later. I'm using an offset so I have room to space them out so they aren't physically touching, but I don't want to take any chances.
I plan to wrap the ribs (2-2-1 method works for me), so would it be okay to put raw chickens in after ribs are wrapped? I'm thinking chicken should take about 2-hours or so.
Or am I just overthinking and worrying too much? This would be my first time smoking 2 different things at once so I could use some advice from those who know.
