Smoked a brisket for 14 hours straight

First time trying brisket on my offset smoker and I was nervous as hell. Started at 4am, kept the temp around 225, wrapped it at the stall around hour 8. It came out perfect with a real bark on it. Neighbors could smell it all day and by dinner time three families came over. Best part was my kids seeing people genuinely enjoy something I made. Already planning my next smoke for next month.

14 hours is commitment. How'd you manage the temperature swings overnight? I've been thinking about getting an offset smoker but the learning curve seems steep.

This is the kind of weekend mission I can get behind. Did it turn out decent on the first try or did you have to dial things in?

Starting at 4am is wild. My wife would kill me if I was up that early messing with a smoker instead of sleeping. Worth it though I'm sure.
