Had some buddies over Saturday and broke out the new smoker I picked up. Did a 12 hour brisket that turned out pretty decent honestly. The kids helped me prep the rub and they were way more interested in the process than I expected. Might be a new family thing. Anyone else find grilling to be weirdly therapeutic after a long week at work?
Nice work getting the smoker broken in right. Getting the kids involved in stuff like that is what weekends are all about, especially with buddies around.
That's awesome man, 12 hours on a brisket is no joke. Love that the kids got in on it too, those are the memories they'll remember forever.
This is the kind of dad move I'm here for. Kids helping with a long cook and buddies over sounds like a perfect Saturday to me.
A 12 hour brisket? That's commitment. How'd it turn out? I've been wanting to step up my grill game but the whole low and slow thing intimidates me.
This is goals right here. I keep telling myself I'm going to do this but between the three kids and life stuff it never happens. Need to make it a priority.

Nothing beats firing up the smoker and having friends over. Those are the kind of weekends my kids actually remember. What kind of smoker did you go with?
