Have never wrapped.

Thought about it though when one butt took almost 18 hours while one sitting next to it finished in a little over 14.

guess it depends one what you're trying to accomplish. For pulled pork, i use the franklin method. 5 hours unwrapped, 3 hours wrapped. Works every time.

I usually dont wrap, but had quite the stubborn bastard last weekend and caved.

Cook notes (Rec Teq Bullseye):
6.5lb butt - Planning for late lunch
12:20am - Put on @ 225° water/drip pan under grate
6:30am - 145° IT - Increase smoker to 275°
9:30am - 160° IT - Wrapped in butcher paper
11:15 - Increase to 325°
12:45 - 185° IT - increase to 375°
2:15 - 197° IT - Pulled to rest

I usually go to 203° or so, but gave up. Ribs and boudin were LONG done by this point. First time in a while a piece of meat has kicked my arse.

I now put in a tin pan and boat wrap the top once it hits 155-160. Comes out incredible every time.
