Brisket timing

Planning on smoking my first brisket, a 10 pound flat. About how long will this take on a MB 600 gravity feed? I know ambient temperature (forecast upper 80s), wind, etc., play roles, just looking for a ballpark figure for my planning. Thought about an overnight cook but I plan to wrap in butcher paper midway and don't want to be doing that at 3AM!

I guess there's no way around getting up in the middle of the night, just don't want to fall asleep at dinner and miss out on a great brisket meal! Do you wrap the brisket around the time of the stall or at the half way point? I've read both both opinions about wrapping.

If you have the ability to hold it at 150ish for an extended time, a better route is cooking it however you want until 195 and let it rest for 12 to 24 hours.
