Furthermore, when you wrap the meat, you're cutting the meat off from the most important element in Barbeque. The Smoke. Wrapping the meat also ruins the best part of the meat, bark.

Agree on the bark. As far as the smoke, after the first several hours, you are not going to gain much smoke flavor by continuing to smoke it. There are diminishing returns.

Good brisket is the king of smoked meats and separates the average BBQ joints from the great ones.

I still love some Carolina mustard sauce, but there are lots of great sauces out there. Lewis BBQ in Charleston (Texas based) is awesome BBQ.
