And I second that question. I've always used foil....it's what my grandpa used. But I'm intersted in butcher paper.Gary
I don't want to hijack the thread... But you brought the subject on your first post.
You wrap in butcher paper. Many experienced brisket boys do. I've always used foil... Just learned to do it that way many many ( did I say many?) years ago.
What is the advantage of butcher paper over foil? My guess the aluminum wrap makes a better "crutch" because it seals tighter. But the butcher paper my allow more smoke.
Inquiring minds want to know. b
Thank you And I will. b
I used Foil for years, then about 4 -5 years ago a friend of mine told me to try butcher paper, Been using it ever since.
Foil seals the meat and steams it causing it to cook faster, which can really be a plus sometimes.
Butcher paper hold in some moisture, but not like foil. I find I maintain a better bark, and it is still plenty moist and juicy.
I would say give it a try and see what you think. I've got friends that swear by each.
Beans; sometimes I'll cook them a while before I put them on the smoker, since that was such a small batch I put them straight on the smoker then about an hour in the over

Pork & BeansI will give it a try when my smoker is finished. I'm finally able to work on it!!!
I want to try the beans too.
Were they pento or baked beans?
Parchment paper works too and can be found in most grocery stores on the baking aisle.
Just a heads up for those wanting to use butcher paper, it isn't as easy to find as I expected. Tried the local grocery stores and they don't sell it, ended up asking the guys at the meat counter and they gave me some of theirs. Its not the best as it has one side slick. I searched and it seems some folks have been ordering it online but it is expensive because it comes in a huge roll, and the shipping is as much as the paper. Accounts I've read are $60-70 a roll. It would be nice to find a "trial" size just to see how it works out. Gary where did you get yours?
You're right Dirtsailor, they do have parchment paper, actually lots of it. Thought about trying it but wasn't sure how it would do. And the price I mentioned of $60 plus does include the shipping, actual paper is around $35 a roll best I can tell.
