To foil or not to foil?

Im doing my first ever brisket right now. I was reading and saw that everyone says to foil a brisket at 160. Anyone NOT foil their brisket? Im not a big fan of foiling anything.

don't gotta foil if ya don't want to. I do some times, others not, but will put a pan under the meat to catch juices to be seperated from fat. It is tottaly what you want to do, you mite get better barq if you dont foil, it mite be more juicey if ya do. You are the 1 driveing the bus, do what YOU want, it will be fine either way.
