My brisket stalled for 6 hours and I panicked

Cooking a 15 pound packer last Saturday, it hit 150 degrees at 10 AM and just sat there. I kept opening the smoker to check, which I know is bad. What's the longest stall you've ever had, and did you wrap it or just wait it out?

Oh man, that sounds so stressful. I had a stall go almost five hours once and it felt like forever. Honestly, I just had to walk away and trust the process.

Yeah, I'm so bad at walking away I've named my smoker "The Anxiety Box"...

My neighbor swears by wrapping it in butcher paper when the stall hits.
