I put on a couple of butts late Friday night and I gave butcher paper a try with one of them. I usually don't wrap butts because I don't like what foil does to the bark.
Here they are rubbed and ready to go on:
I chose to wrap the bigger one so I could see if it would catch up with the smaller one. I wrapped with 3 layers.
The butcher paper did not seem to speed the butt through the stall any significant amount. But, the end result was a juicy butt with a great bark. The texture of the meat was outstanding. It was noticeably more moist than the butt that was not wrapped.
The wrapped one pulled:
So, overall I was impressed with the effects of the butcher paper. This was my first time using it with any meat. I just put on a brisket flat that I will wrap later on today. Thanks for looking.
