Of course I wrap. This preserves moisture.

Up, duh. The cap is up so the fat renders down through the meat.

Yes, with wood chunks in my 22" Weber Smoky Mountain, which I have altered with several aftermarket enhancements.

The wood chunks I use with charcoal vary based on what I am cooking. I like mesquite, apple, and hickory (often a blend).

Pellets are for those who don't want a challenge. You might as well go to a restaurant.

Depends on what I'm making. I do chicken and turkey hot and fast. Everything else low and slow.

Depends on what the meat is, and sometimes it varies. I always inject pork shoulder, sometimes brisket. I brine chicken and turkey. I do not inject ribs.

No, but there are things that are objectively wrong. Like failing to remove the membrane from ribs.
