I have this lovely cut of Brisket for Sunday.  19LB of goodness.

The big question is best way to cook it.  I have a smoker, but I need to tend it all night (no problem)

Best tips for cooking the beast in 18 hours.....if possible.  If not I guess I need to cook some Saturday and some Sunday.  I am heading out for 5 hour and can not watch it during that time.

Will that give me the bark?  

I have heard that you get the smoke flavor in the first hours, after that I can use regular wood, or is it better to just got with Hickory and Mesquite for the full time?

I did one a month ago (smaller) for 16 hours and it was perfect.  Have more coming over and want a similar outcome.
 
What kind of smoker do you have? I don't worry about bark taste & tenderness only I have a WSM 18

Looks like it will get it done,how hot do you normally cook with that setup?

I only have the fire on the far right side.  There is no direct heat under the meat.  I block the fire in with block.  If you look under the lower grate you can see them, on the edge of the blocks on top.

I can add wood from a door on the bottom, so I do not need to open the top at all, unless I want to turn the meats.

What you see in that pic is a double stack of ribs.  Here is a better look of my cooking surface

This was a pork roast I did.  Wood is on the right under the pan, block on the very bottom to block direct heat.

I am amazed how well this has worked.  I looked at getting a smoker from Lowes, but they are thin and cheap.

Why replace this if it work....

Wow....cooked for 8 hours and hit 180 internal temp. Cooked with woid so temp was not flat line. Peaks and vallies from 190 to 325. Hit highs when I added more wood, but fell after 15 to 20 min.
 
Foil it and wrap in a towel when you get it done.Put it in a cooler till you are ready
