Peach paper ain't magic, Franklin's gets that crust because they're cooking on a big offset with way more airflow and they wrap way later than 165. Foil at 165 is basically steaming it, and yeah the bark goes soft, but paper does the same thing if you wrap that early. Next time ride it naked till 175 or so and let that bark set up hard before you wrap in anything.

That 26 psi thing is real though, most guys never touch their settings after they find something that works.

Toothpicks and glue work fine, but you really only need them if the holes are stripped bad.
