I usually wrap. Recently I did a cook of 10 racks for a group. I wasn’t gonna fuss with wrapping and then unwrapping all 10 racks. Ribs came out great. Never had so many compliments.

I just tried the no wrap. 3 racks @ 240 for about 5hrs. No spritz so sauce. SPG. I found the flavor of the seasoning was far superior to wrapping. What i didn’t like was the texture. To me they were too I am going to say crusty.
I will preface this with I am dentally challenged. So just one old guy’s opinion.
Try it. It was a fun experience.

No wrap is the way, just make sure you monitor the temp. Not too high, not too low. You’ll never wrap it up again

Never wrap, 225 until they get to 200 then I pull them and rest them on a metal pan with foil over.
Sometime around 160-180 I turn the heat up to 250… Just depends on when I need them done.

You’ll find there are some people that prefer the wrapped version because they want the ‘fall-off-the-bone’ soft that steaming them provides. I’ve been able to convert most of these people to a slightly more bitey, crunchy, rib lovers. I only wrap if I know there’s someone eating that wants mush.
