Will my meat still tak esmoke in foil?

[comer88888]

I was Just reading some of the thread a couple down saying your meat will not keep taking smoke after the first 2-3 hours. It seems like everyone has there own opinion about it but my question is a little different. I did try to search but my question is to long to find the right info. So Here it is. I wrap my pork butt in foil after it reaches 140 to 150. I know I don't get good bark that way but after my first 2 butts taking way to long to cook and the last couple I put in foil are done on time I am sticking with this way. But If I  wrap in foil is there any reason to still add chips to it? Or am I just wasting chips. I have a gas smoker. Thanks sorry for the novel.

once its foil it wont take on any smoke. so save your chips

Most folks take it to 160-165 then foil and it will not take on any more smoke once in the foil
