When checking for probe tender, do you unwrap the brisket to poke it, or do you poke it through the foil? This may be a moot point, but Im not sure what the correct technique is.

Jon-- You can go either way but for brisket I uncrimp then lift the top piece. For ribs, if I foil, I just check through the foil.
