mb168,
I think you're ok, but i'M probably too late now. I would think foil will keep it moist and maybe help it cook faster. Mine stayed around 163 for at least 7 hours.
I cooked a brisket (my second, a 5.25lb flat) a week ago. I woke up at 2:30, the temp alarm was going off and my fire was out.
I drizzled some oil on two paper towels, shoved 'em through the bottom vent door, lit them and went back to bed. When I got up at 6:00, the internal temp was up to 163 where it stayed for the rest of the morning.
My total cook time was, I think, 17 hours . I foiled, toweled and coolered it.

It was fine. It could've been better but it was moist enough. My kids are picky eaters and they both had 3 helpings.
