My neighbor swore by wrapping brisket in foil after 4 hours, but I tried it and the bark was mush.

He's been smoking for 20 years, so I listened. Next time I went unwrapped for the full 8 hours on my offset and got the crust I wanted. Anyone have a better method for keeping it moist without sacrificing texture?

Remember my buddy who tried the foil boat trick? His bark stayed put and the flat didn't dry out.

That foil boat trick is a game changer. I was a full wrap guy for years, but the boat keeps the bark from getting soggy while still holding in enough juice. Best middle ground I've found.
