Reynold Wrap Butcher Paper

[JBCWCHS06]

Figured this would be a good place to post this away from my other post. I did a brisket for the first time Friday and tried to use Reynolds Wrap Butcher Paper and couldn't figure it out so decided to do the foil boat method. But when I took it out of the paper some of the bark came off on the paper. Was that because it had just sat in the paper for a minute or 2 and didn't actually cook in it or is it a problem people run into with the butcher paper.

It may have been some fat. If its rendered properly its pretty fragile. Some may have pealed off. No huge deal imo

Was it the pink or plastic coated? I see they offer both

 

[JBCWCHS06]

It was this paper from Walmart. Do I need to spray it with anything before wrapping but yeah it was some bark on the fat cap that came off.

Never used Reynolds butcher paper. I use this via Amazon and never had an issue. Never used any spray.

I spray my butcher paper before i wrap just so it clings and forms to the shape of the brisket way better. Wet paper sticks better than dry for sure. Then you don't need 3 hands to wrap. I spritz the brisket for good measure also.

No waxed or shiny side paper. Just plain food grade paper, but I have also used paper grocery bags, some say no, but I’m thinking they are food grade paper being grocery bags.

As a kid, my mom would send me to school with a grocery bag full of pop corn for class parties. I am still here...
My wife has baked pies in them as well.

There was some weird recipe my brother in law used to use - he'd cook the thanksgiving turkey in a grocery bag. Guess what? The turkey tasted like grocery bag. He quit doing it after a couple years.

I’ve only used the paper SmokinGame mentioned and have never had a problem. I like to do the tallow smear when I wrap, it’s pretty popular right now and I think it works well. Not sure what caused it, was there sugar or something in your rub to make sticky? I doubt it’s a big deal though.

It was a pre made rub it was actually the chupacabra brisket rub so not sure if it had sugar in it. I also used beef broth as a spritz I might have over sprayed it though

I love that chupacabra stuff! Sugar and brown sugar are the 5th and 6th ingredient...

 

[bauchjw]

If it’s the 5&6th ingredient, My guess is that some of the sugar got tacky and stuck to the paper.

 

[JBCWCHS06]

Alright good deal might go with a homemade rub without the sugar for my next brisket. Have heard just salt and pepper is good but can't find the recommended salt and pepper that alot of people use for their briskets

Grocery bags, never thought of that. Seems like a good workaround if you're in a pinch.

I have been using this Reynolds. No problems.

That's what I got but thinking either the rub I had was super sugary or the spritz I used made the bark super tacky. Hopefully it will work better next time

I've got that Reynolds Butcher Paper too. The paper is exactly like my other paper I used before. One nice thing about it is, you can re-use the cardboard container with the slide cutter if you want to switch to another paper next time for whatever reason.

Ah, good idea. I have another roll of butcher paper I got through Amazon, and that is the pain of it is cutting it with scissors. Not that that is the end of the world, but now, I don't need to buy a dispenser. Thanks!

It wasn't the rub. Like

Some will flake off if the bark is not set good. And lightly spritz or apply tallow to the paper as bauchjw says.
That's a great rub for beef!
