No idea what to do. (Another brisket help thread)

Well on a whim I picked up a 13 pound packer from Kroger today. I probably trimmed maybe a pound off at most so final weight was somewhere around 12 pounds give or take. I figured around 1 1/2 - 2 hours per pound and put it on at 5 planning for dinner tomorrow. Well the IT is already at 182! I've done a few overnight cooks and don't get nervous but this has me rattled, am I looking at brisket for breakfast? Lol. I don't think I can FTC for that long.
Edit: been holding a stable grid temp of ~240 for pretty much the entire time so far.

I'm no brisket expert, but I'll bump your thread and predict folks will tell you to check your thermometers. Good luck.Phoenix

You can drop you cooking temp down to 200 degrees to extend the cooking time and lower the hold time if you so chose. However if you wrap and pack it right, you can hold it for many, many hours with no ill effects. Either way, it will be fine.

We're on the same page @SGH, already bumped temp down and it's been staying at 210 for the past hour or so.
Just hoping this turns out okay. I'm fine with them taking longer than expected, but when they track to finish fast I get nervous.22 in Macon, GA - Large BGE 2015 -
