Wrapping brisket in tin foil

Is there an advantage to wrapping the brisket in tin foil toward the end of cooking on the egg. Can you point me to some references if you think this is a worthwhile technique

The only reason I can think of is when you crank up the heat to finish sooner. I drape foil over the meat to keep it from burning the bark.
