Woke up at 5am to prep it, kept the temp at 225 for like 14 hours, wrapped it in foil at the stall. Buddy I've been wanting to try this for years. Came out perfect. Neighbors could smell it from 3 houses away and I'm pretty sure 2 of them showed up 'just happening' to stop by at dinner time. Totally worth the time investment.
Waking up at 5am to cook meat is the most dad thing I've ever heard and I love it. Was it for the whole family or did you have people over?
Yo that's awesome man! 14 hours though... I can't even imagine being awake that long without a kid screaming at 3am. You're a legend for pulling that off.
Brisket at 5am is the kind of commitment I respect. That's dad energy right there. How'd it turn out?
First brisket is a big deal! The foil wrap timing is so crucial. Did you let it rest long enough after it came off? That's where a lot of people mess it up.

That's dedication right there. 14 hours at 225 is no joke. How'd it turn out? That early morning prep is rough but totally worth it when you nail the brisket.
