I'll have to try the wrap next time. I haven't bothered with pork or brisket, & I've still gotten great results. I did wrap the ribs, though, doing the 3-2-1 method, and they were terrific. It's all part of the learning curve on the smoker.
I'm tossing a brisket on tomorrow evening, for Saturday's party. I'm feeling pretty confident about that one.
