It turned out way better than I thought looks-wise and I think it will smoke just fine. It's currently drying out a bit and we are going to fire it up at next week's event.

The PCR with no wrapper smoked just fine, but you could really tell something was missing flavor wise. I'll report back with a little review once I smoke it.
What did you use for glue? I've tried a thick pectin paste, and although it held together the very bad fissure of wrapper and binder, when it burned it tasted awful.
