Smoked a brisket for 14 hours yesterday

Woke up at 4am to get it started. Wrapped it at the stall around hour 8, pulled it at 203 internal temp. Let it rest for 30 minutes and man it was worth every second of lost sleep. Everyone's still talking about it today. Honestly think it might be the best thing I've ever cooked. Already planning the next one.

203 internal temp is the sweet spot. Did you let it rest after pulling it? That makes or breaks a brisket. The last one I did got devoured in about 20 minutes.

14 hours is commitment. That 4am wake up has to hurt though. Was it worth it? I've never smoked a full brisket, just burnt a lot of chicken trying.

Getting the kids up at 4am to help? That's dedication. My wife would murder me if I turned on the smoker that early.
