Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
They come out pretty good either way, so I figure why bother? I used to wrap, but don’t anymore.

"Why bother?" that is what I was thinking. 3-2-1 seems to complicate things--although when used only as a guide I have produced good ribs.

Right! Prep your ribs, prep your smoker, put ‘em on and wait until they’re done. I can see wrapping them if you have something special you want them to pick up: honey and butter? Cherries and brown sugar? But otherwise, they come out great either way, and wrapping is a PITA and costs foil.

Never wrapped ribs. Split a rack of St. Louis ribs in half and hang each half in the PBC. Start checking via bend test and toothpick test around 3 1/2 to 4 hrs in. Once it passes, I give a very light coating of BBQ sauce and let it tack up for 15 min. Whole thing takes around 4:30 most days.

I don't always wrap ribs, but when I do...
Honey, brown sugar and butter (or even margarine) in the foil for "a little while", then out of the foil to caramelize over high heat, and serve with sauce on the side.

Personally I find ribs to be the easiest BBQ to make. I say that b/c (knock on wood) I've never screwed that up. First time I did them I did was on my Weber gas grill with a smoke box, water pan. Then I moved over to the WSM and never had any issues. Now I use my Grilla Siverback and love that, and I will still use my WSM too once the weather lets up. I don't wrap either. Tried it once and that was good enough for me. I like St. Louis too. I did make a spritz of apple cider vinegar and mixed in a little cheap bourbon I had. I don't know if it helps at all but it does look cool and does smell good when I use it. I don't probe them either and just reply on the bend test.
