but with 2 kids running around and a wife who like to go places, that's hard to pull off and entire day or just me sitting home.

Yeah it’s tough. I put a brisket on at 6:42 this morning and I’m about to pull it within probably an hour. Granted it’s my second cook on this pit, but the longest I’ve been able to get away from it has even 20-30 minutes. Always stoking the fire, moving coals around, etc. It’s the complete opposite of set and forget. I love it because I’m a control freak and a perfectionist so I’ll never be satisfied, but I also don’t have any kids.
