Got the smoker working perfectly for the first time

Spent 4 hours babying a brisket yesterday. Wrapped it, kept the temp steady at 225, and let it rest proper. When I pulled it off and sliced into it, it was perfect. Kids came running when they smelled it and even the picky eater demolished two plates. There's something really satisfying about feeding your family something you made from scratch over a fire.

There's something really satisfying about mastering a skill and then sharing the results with your family. That's a good vibe for the kids to see - patience, attention to detail, and pride in what you made.

That's the zone right there. Brisket at 225 for hours is meditative. I did the same thing last month and my whole family actually sat around waiting for it instead of being on screens. Best parenting move I didn't plan.

The wrapping technique changes everything. I've been smoking meat for years and getting the temp steady is half the battle. How long did you end up going total before you pulled it?
