My pitmaster buddy in Memphis told me to stop wrapping brisket at 165 and just let it ride, and now I'm second guessing 6 years of habit
He said he hasn't wrapped a packer in 3 years and still pulls 203 probes like butter, so now I want to hear from folks who quit the crutch entirely, did your bark actually get better or did you just get lucky with one good cook?
So what happens when you get a stubborn packer that just wants to stall forever, you gonna sit there till midnight? A wrap is insurance, not a crutch, and one guy's hot streak in Memphis doesn't mean the stall magically stops existing. You been wrapping for 6 years for a reason, don't toss that just cause your buddy got lucky.
