cooking a 10 pound packer. Let rub set for 20 hours. Egg was at 220 at midnight. Put brisket on. Used maverick so could sleep. Stall at 154. Was wondering if I needed to turn up the heat a little? It's at IT 158 now.
Lbge. Maverick 733, ss top, 30" fire pit, gas grill, small charcoal grill, electric smoker, 65 qt yeti, 35 qt yeti.

220 on the dome thermo? Yeah I would bump it up. You are likely running closer to 200 at grate which is also around your final desired IT so will take a long time. I typically run 275 dome for brisket but that is meColumbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

If the above mentioned BGE temp is on a calibrated dome thermo, with most BGE indirect cooks you normally see the cooking grid start at less than the dome temp (eventually the gap closes up) you will be on this cook forever to get into the 180's-low 200's *F for the finish feel. Another thing to consider is "when do you want this cook to be ready for consumption?"

@Dfoshee .. crank up the temp, I'd shoot for at least a 4pm finish time, that'll give the brisky time to rest. FTC.I've slow smoked and eaten so much pork, I'm legally recognized as being part swine - Chatsworth Ca.
