Wrapping a Butt or Brisket.
« on: August 23, 2017, 12:03:11 PM »
So, has anyone ever, or do you think that using a brown paper bag from the grocery store would be the same as butcher paper?  Does anyone know the type of paper that butcher paper is made of?

They are both made from kraft pulp so they should be about the same.  That said my only concern would be the inks used on paper bags for advertising.  I don't know can you get them with no printing?

Not sure, I am going to look next time I am in Martins...I figured Members would say I am crazy.  Is Kraft pulp a certain wood?

No it is a process that produces a good wood fiber which than is made into paper. I'm sure they have preferred woods they like to us but didn't see any listed.

For some reason, my standard practice is not to wrap a brisket, but I almost always wrap pork butts with foil.  I have been too cheap to buy a roll of butcher paper because I don't cook them frequently enough.

Yep.  My son and I started to use it at competitions this year and we like the results.  We have a BBQ Store near me that sells small rolls so we don't have to buy a lot at one time.

See if your local butcher will score you enough to wrap a brisket.

My father, the butcher, wrapped purchases in white paper that appeared to be waxy on one side.  A lot of the meat I buy today is wrapped in brown paper that also appears to have one side waxed.

That isn't the butcher paper you're speaking of, is it?

My butcher at Magro's Meats. will give me what I need, but I have never used it.

Before I got a roll of butcher paper, I tried a brown paper bag. It was a mess, seems to absorb more juice and soaked through. Butcher paper is more robust.
