It doesn’t really add moisture, it just speeds up the cook which can help prevent you over cooking it/drying out. Plus I like the bark.
My smoker is basically fan assisted so the stall tends not to be as bad so if you wrap you can quickly turn ribs to moosh. I’ve wrapped today as I started late, I’ll risk moosh vs a lonngggggg cook.
When I’m home they are skinny ribs, they don’t stall but I prefer to wrap them, it makes the meat fall off the bone and I only give them a 30min blast after unwrapping to give a bit of surface/bark
Yeah it’s preference. I don’t like it to fall off the bone, that over done, to me . I like it just at the point where the bones are clean but the meat has some substance left.
It’s really hard with the ribs here, luckily I’ve found a supplier here where there is tons of meat on the ribs.
