Smoked a brisket for 14 hours straight

Woke up at 4am Saturday to get the brisket on the smoker. Spent the whole day tending to it, checking temps, spritzing, the whole nine yards. Wife thought I was insane. But when I pulled it off at 6pm and sliced into it, the bark was perfect and it was so tender it fell apart. Made some sides, invited the neighbors over. Everyone went back for seconds. That's why I do this. Until next weekend when I try to top it.

That's the dream right there. I'm still trying to figure out how to get 14 uninterrupted hours with two kids under five, but man when I do get to do a long smoke it's pure therapy.

Now that's a Saturday well spent! With two boys at home I barely get that kind of uninterrupted time anymore. How'd the brisket turn out?

14 hours is dedication right there! I feel you on the wife thing though, my spouse has definitely given me the look when I disappear for a whole day into the smoking zone. Worth it for that bark though.
