My first brisket took 18 hours and came out like shoe leather.

I used to just slap a whole packer on the smoker at 225 and hope for the best, no wrap, no thermometer, just vibes. Last month I finally started wrapping in butcher paper at 165 and actually resting it for 2 hours in a cooler, and the difference was night and day. Has anyone else dealt with that learning curve where you just didn't know about the stall?

Did you check the internal temp before pulling it off the smoker?

Yeah checking the temp saved my brisket last weekend, it was way under.
