foil wrapping

[bill fusion]

I've done some smoking off and on and have never used the foil wrapping method.   I had a cylindrical smoker with a water pan and everything was always fine.  I now have a Brinkman Trial master  lmtd ed.  I've done two smokes with this and though not bad, definitely not what I was hoping for.  Not as juicy as I had hoped for, even had a pan of liquid under the meat. Temps maintained between 200-250.  I think I've stepped up my smoker and need to step up my technique.  Thoughts?

I have the WSM's, a 22.5 and a 14.5, so I can't speak to the Brinkman, but I run about 50/50 on wrapping, sometimes I do sometimes I don't.

     I am still learning but do think that wrapping will speed up the cook and retain moisture.

I like the WSM's they are mostly set and forget.
