My uncle insisted I wrap my brisket in foil after 4 hours, but it just steamed the bark off in my Oklahoma Joe.
He swore it kept it moist, but after trying it twice, I got a soft, gray crust instead of that dark, crunchy bark I wanted, so what's your method for keeping it juicy without ruining the bark?

Wrap it in foil after the bark is set, not before.

Buddy of mine tried wrapping his brisket early cause he was running late for a cookout. Bark was barely forming when he threw that foil on there. Ended up with this soggy, steamed meat that tasted more like pot roast than brisket. He was so bummed out he just told everyone it was a new recipe lol. Def learned the hard way that patience pays off with that bark.

Actually @jordanr89, you can wrap it in foil before the bark sets to speed things up.
