early stall on brisket? HELP!

I've been reading a lot of people saying they get there stall around 160 internal temp.  I have a 9.6lb brisket on right now that has been on for 8.5 hours, dome temp 250, grill temp 210ish.  Internal temp has now been on 140 for about 2.5 hours.  anyone else see this?

    At 210 they will stall out forever.

    Yep, if you can get your dome temp to 275-290 you'll be better off.  Because you probably will have a stall at 160.
