It's totally fine to do that. I've done it that way for years. Ribs I do in 1 cook and usually butts because those 2 are 4-6 hours. I have been known on a few occasions to split butts if something was going on. Brisket though I split every time. I'll put 5-6 hours on it the first day and another 5-6 the next day. After about 4 hours on the 2nd day I'll start checking it for tenderness to see where it's at. I started using a thermometer a few years ago and watching temps but for decades I would just poke it and when it was tender its done.We are going to have to talk about this. I’m curious.
