How often are you training each week?. I found the best way of putting on weight was to train only 3 times a week, really heavy duty and then do absolutely nothing(i.e. no other exercise, cardio etc) outside the gym.
Basically just eat, sleep, train and a bit of work (this was when i was at Uni so I could afford to be lazy!)
Also, and dare I say it, at 10% bodyfat you could also allow yourself some dietary discretions to help get additional calories in. It is widely known that an extra bit of fat/bodyweight around the joints helps improve the strength. As long as you still get the protein in too. I have been known to take part in the odd McDonalds challenge on a wet saturday afternoon on many occasions when at Uni
Please note, I do not normally advise this course of action despite it being helpful to pack on the pounds.

Dito to what Paul has said,
...but get most of the fats from EFA and still try and eat as clean as possible even when adding the weight...or you will have a harder job at the end of the day. and forget about the fish oil tabs...go for an oil blend if you don't already.
At 10% I would say you can keep a very good eye on the amount of fat you are adding to your frame, and if it starts to get out of hand or worry you cut back for a while and rotate until you meet your goal.
Slow and consistent is the way...but you already knew that.
Good luck

The beauty of this sport/hobby is that you can do it up until they have to put you in a wheel chair, and then it doesn't stop some people. Once you have got a couple of years under your belt, you'll be making the average joe in the street look like peewee herman
