My turnaround on brisket cook methods

I always said why waste hours on brisket when you can cook it fast. But after my last couple turned out tough, I decided to try the old school low and slow method. I mean, the difference was night and day. The meat was so tender and had way more smoke flavor. Now I'm a convert, even though it means babysitting the smoker all day. Idk, maybe I was just doing it wrong before. How do you guys manage the time for long smokes?

I've found that starting the brisket before bed lets it cook overnight without much fuss. Just set your alarm to check the temp once or twice. Waking up to that smell is the best part.

Always thought that was lazy until I tried it last weekend.

You set an alarm just to check a brisket?
