Smoking a brisket all day Sunday

First time doing a full 12 hour smoke. Picked up an 8 pounder from Costco and I'm running dry rub all night. Planning to invite some neighbors over and actually have adult time while the kids play. This is happening and I'm way too excited about meat.

12 hours is a beast of a commitment but 8 pounds is the perfect size to learn on. Don't be scared to adjust your temp if needed, every smoker is different. What kind are you using?

Brisket day is serious business. That dry rub choice is everything. I went too heavy on the paprika my first time and learned real quick. You checking it every hour or going old school low and slow?

Eight pounder from Costco is a good call for your first time. Not too small that it dries out easy, not so massive that you're panicking all day. Good luck with the smoke!
