I'm planning on doing a brisket this weekend on my Lang and was curious about butcher paper. What are the pros and cons of using paper vs foil?
I use butcher paper. Otherwise the bark gets to wet for my taste. BTW I see you're using a Lang. I bought a 36 Hybrid Deluxe about 6 months ago....so nice to cook on.
Had my 48 delivered last October. Loving the results!!I use butcher paper. Otherwise the bark gets to wet for my taste. BTW I see you're using a Lang. I bought a 36 Hybrid Deluxe about 6 months ago....so nice to cook on.
I don't always wrap but when I do....I prefer peach butcher paper. The peach isn't usually waxed (you don't want the waxed kind) and can be had on Amazon pretty inexpensive. I don't care for the results of foil, too mushy/soggy for my preference. Butcher paper allows for air to circulate, still allowing for some decent bark. I hear some of the Pro's talking about how everyone at competitions uses foil, I think they are just stuck in their ways.
I have the 24 inch being delivered today, then started to rethink it. thanks24 is better for wrapping. I have a big roll of 18 and wish I had the 24. With the 18, I have to use multiple pieces to get full coverage on a brisket or a 10 lb butt. When it's gone, I'll buy the 24.
