Smoking a brisket for 14 hours tomorrow wish me luck

Got a 12 lb brisket in the cooler and I'm planning to start smoking it at 4am tomorrow. Want to have it ready by 6pm for a family cookout. This is my third brisket ever. First one was dry, second one was better. Really want to nail it this time. Using offset smoker with oak wood. Any last minute advice before I start this thing?

That's a serious smoke session man. Pro tip: keep a notebook handy to track temps and times so you can dial it in even better next time. You got this.

4am wake up with a newborn at home sounds brutal but that brisket is gonna be worth every minute. My kids would demolish something like that at a cookout.

14 hours starting at 4am, that's dedication. Hope you've got good coffee ready because those early morning hours are key. The family cookout is gonna be legendary with that brisket.
