I No-Chill pretty much all the time. After flame goes off the lid goes on. About 12 hours later or so I am pitching yeast. My standard operating practice is that is I use more then 1 oz of hops then I use my hop basket if I use less then one then I don't use it to help combat the IBUs and Hop Utilization. The wort stays in my kettle until I am ready to transfer to the fermenter.
I'll chill my wort if I am using temperature controlled fermentation, but there is still a lag at least with my set up from around 100 degrees on downward.
I will say that some of what I have seen and people say about the disadvantages of no chilling such as infections, and not being able to make clean beer are hear say at best. I have made very clean looking beer, and knock on wood I have had more infections with chilled wort then non chilled.
One of the best things about this method / technique is that it offers another way to do something and something else to learn from.
