Aaron Franklin. Here is why he is in a league of his own.

900' roll. That's a lot of brisket wrapping going on.

LOL.  True dat.  Still it's delivered for free so it ends up being less than half of what the pink stuff costs ($22 shipping on the pink stuff to my house)

Am I correct that he uses the 40lb weight paper on brisket?

If you have a GFS (Gordon Food Service) nearby, you might check out their butcher paper.  I remember seeing some there, just don't remember the details.

You guys want a good laugh? Here goes. I have never cooked a brisket. I have eaten it a handful of times and that was from a local BBQ joint. It was good, but I have nothing to compare it to. 

Some of you may try some from my local place and not feed it to your dog.  I read a review of the local joint online and someone that "knows brisket" said it was crap. I wish I could try some that I knew was good.

Their 18" 1000 foot 45lb freezer paper weighs 22.5lb.  The paper 18" 1000 foot roll he uses weighs 20lbs.  40lb-ish weight paper makes sense to me.

I thought I read or heard him say this some where. Couldn't remember for sure though.

He is also a movie star!  Was surprised to see him on 'Chef',  when they were cutting the brisket, the knife went through like butter.

Good movie also.

His book is available April 7th on Amazon "Franklin Barbecue:A Meat-Smoking Manifesto"

Very good read, enjoyed it, thanks dude.

Very awesome read, but one man cannot keep that pace up for a terribly long time. Either he will find someone he trusts completely to run it here in the next few years or he will close. Just the guy that he is. At some point there is more to life then BBQ and financial success.

Franklin is a meat god who walks among men...amazing
