first time with the no wrap method. Just doing a half rack, but seem really meaty. I do have a question though. Since I'm doing a half rack, will the bend test still work? Saw someone mention a toothpick test, is that similar to a brisket?

 
Thanks NoBoundaries.

Been in for 2 hrs 15 minutes so far and the TBS is looking good. Hoping to not open to peak for 4 hours, at which time I will spray it with apple juice and Captain Morgan mixture.
 
Keep her closed up from here on out......If you are smoking @ 225 it should be done around 5.5-6 hours. I had 2 racks of spares on yesterday. The skinnier one was done in 5 hours and the thicker one was done in 6.

thanks Damon, been opening for a quick spray ever 45 min. Was going to do it one more time in 15 minutes.
Those are looking mighty good so far. Keep up the good work. Since you're not going to open the door back up maybe you can treat yourself to one part apple juice and four parts Captain [emoji]128521[/emoji]

Awesome! I used to go no wrap but switched to 3-2-1 a few years back. I need to do both and try the taste test...those do look nice
