Ok I have smoked whole chicken, prime rib chicken breast things that you can smoke in under 6 hours, setting on the deck sipping on landshark while I watch the smoke rises,I got that down pat. But my brisket needs to go for 12 hours like to have it ready to starve around 4 or 5 so that's a 15 hour span counting the rest. Do you leave it unattended overnight?how do you keep the smoke going ? Do I have to get up a three in the morning to start? I have a smoke vault and once you get it going it holds a temp pretty well really love it Thanks
