To wrap or to not wrap doing turbo rib?

Hey guys/gals. I am going to try my first turbo ribs this evening. Do yall wrap or not? These are st louis style ribs. Was planning to do them at 350 indirect for about an hour 15 and then wrap for about an hour? Thanks for any advise. Honey hog will be the rub.

Which way did you go? How did they turn out?

I would have to say that to truly "turbo" something you have to wrap. the wrap is primarily what causes it to cook so fast because you stop the evaporative cooling.

I do turbo ribs all the time and never wrap. The delta between the air temp (350) and the meat temp (~195-200 finish temp) is more than enough to overcome evaporative cooling. For lo and slo, the difference is much smaller, for which evaporative cooling will have an impact...thus the "stall" on a brisket cook, or even ribs.
