Smoked a brisket for 14 hours straight

First time doing a full brisket on my offset smoker. Woke up at 4am to get the fire going, spent the whole day adjusting temps and spritzing. Pulled it at 204 degrees internal temp and let it rest for 30 mins. Sliced into it and it was perfect. Pink smoke ring, tender, juicy. Family went nuts. Worth every minute of sleep I'm about to lose.

The offset smoker life is real. That meat bark must have been incredible after 14 hours of smoke and heat. How's the family reacting to the results?

14 hours is commitment. How'd it turn out? I've been too chicken to attempt a full brisket myself, seems like there's so many ways to mess it up at hour 10.

Dude that's insane. Did you stay up the whole time or manage to grab some sleep? I feel like I'd mess something up if I tried to sleep through a cook like that.

Mad respect for waking up at 4am for that. I can barely get up that early for work, let alone for a hobby. Please tell me it was absolutely worth it.
