Brisket Cook-Issue with Fire
Options

I have a Medium BGE, and have done lots of overnight Brisket cooks. This one is running longer-it is about 14 lbs Costco Prime. Started at 8 PM last night, meat temp in a bit of a stall. Have my Smobot set at 235 but noticed temps were having trouble keeping up. Checked-and i show the lump is almost all gone.
Granted, right now we are running about 17 hours (about 1 PM Est-that is what i figured) but i have never had this issue. Can anyone advise? Am I just expecting too much from my lump? Granted, this is the longest cook I ever done-prior briskets were done by 8 or 9 AM.
I am using FOGO lump, mix of Premium and Super Premium (latter is great for long cooks, larger pieces).
Thanks for reading, feedback appreciated!
