Thanks Lynn for the great infoEverybody does what they do .............. here's what I do.
I only wrap brisket in butcher paper, if I wrap at all. Butcher paper will preserve the bark because it still breathes. Foil will make the bark mushy as it almost braizes the meat. Last brisket I did on my Masterbuilt 560 and I did not wrap and it was really good.
Ribs I wrap in foil. I'm not concerned with bark on ribs.
Pork butt gets foil, while the foil makes the bark mushy, it really does not matter because the bark is gonna get mixed in with the meat when its shredded.
As to brand of butcher paper, don't think it matters, just don't get paper with a coating. Some of it comes with some type of parafin like coating, especially the white variety , but I really think that's rare. Just get pink butcher paper.
Great. Now when the Mrs. wants to go antiquing, I'm going to volunteer to come along to see if I can run across one of these!
Dustin this is good to know on keeping the fat side up I’ll have to remember that next time. As for wrapping I have been “double wrapping” like I would with foil. What say you? Double or single wrap with paper?I've got a big 'ol roll I bought from Webrestaurant store back when this became a thing. I've found a ton of uses for it as well. One key to it working well is to try to wrap up your meat as tightly as possible. I put my meat fat side up after I wrap as you'll have paper underneath to protect the meat from the heat and the fat can sometimes stick to the paper when it's face down.
You’d think I would learn this! Every time I make a huge mess and the wife getsIt’s a little messy so you need to be careful when removing it.
