I don't find the need to wrap with these smokers, but even if I did, I would leave my probes in until the IT target tells me it's time to probe. When they probe like butter, I will remove my probes, the hunk of goodness, and then I double wrap like Dave for the rest period. As the other Dave said, use it! Congrats on #1 of many many more. It's going to be AWESOME!
