Anyone cooking brisket with butcher paper?

[smokeasaurus]

A little known fact about Smart & Final is that they get most of their red meat from Harris Ranch here in California.

Well, well, Billy Merrill! Didn't know you ventured over to TalkBBQ!  How's it hanging? 23rd at the Jack! Beats my 73rd on brisket. Got to work on that flavor profile. What did butcher's paper get me at Salisbury, I forgot. Think it was 21st out of 56. One thing for sure, it eats up the magic juice. Not convinced it's the way to go on comps. J$ says cook two and use the foiled one for the juice. Me and Steve really enjoyed meeting and playing with Robert. Tell him hello and come on down and see us!

Lexington, Kannapolis, Lincolnton, Tryon, Maggie Valley, ring any cow bells to you? Just nibbling! 

Come see me! I'll buy you a scallop!

I did a paper wrapped briskit 2 years ago at my NEPA BBQ.

You need to use unwaxed brown butcher paper and brown gum tape.

At what IT point did you wrap it & how did it one out?

[CaptJack]

why not use parchment paper and wrap it up with cotton butcher's twine?

Don't know why not; maybe, I'll try next time after I do this butcher paper wrapped one.

We used to cook em without the foil wrap great bark but the hold time was not good
Be funny to find out the butcher paper was about cost saving vs foil 
Just depends on who and when your cooking for as to how ya cook em

The family does not eat much bbq anymore
I burn em out

I think what started all of this is
Snow's BBQ in Lexington, Texas took over as #1 BBQ joint in Texas
they wrap their brisket in butcher paper

I don't know about Lexington, TX., but I didn't see any butcher paper wrapped briskets on the pits at Lockhart, TX., and we went to Smitty's, Black's, and Kreuz's on the same day. Every one of them served the food on red butchers paper. It was a brisket lover's day in Eden!

OverDunn, we're talking about the "Texas Crutch"
wrapping the brisket at 170° in foil or butcher paper to finish it at 195°~200°

I know that Pizzitola's in Houston changed their meat supplier to smaller briskets
and started wrapping the briskets to finish
after they did a field trip to Snow's one Saturday
and Pizzitolas is the best BBQ in Houston

I didn't read anything in the article about Snow's BBQ  that they wrap the brisket in butchers paper when cookin, only when serving, .... as a plate. 

[CaptJack]

must have been in a different article?
