I used to wrap my brisket in foil after 4 hours, now I wait until it hits 175 internal
For years, I'd wrap my brisket as soon as the bark looked set, usually around the 4 hour mark on my offset. I was always in a rush to get through the stall. Last summer, I was watching a video from a pitmaster in Lockhart, Texas, and he said he never wraps before 170 degrees. I tried it on my next cook, waiting until the probe read 175, which took about 7 hours. The bark was way better, almost like a peppery crust. It made me wonder, how many of you have changed your wrap timing and what difference did you see?

That Lockhart guy changed my whole game, my bark got way darker and held together better.

His bark got way darker" is the dream. Mine just gets a weird, sad shade of gray (I'm still figuring it out, clearly).
