Wrapping brisket with paper and using temp probe

isudoc03

ok guys, going to do my 2nd brisket this weekend. First one was just ok so I'm trying to improve. Last time I wrapped with foil at about 160. This time I'm going to try butcher paper. My question might be really simple but how do you guys that wrap with paper use a temp probe? Do you wrap and just poke through it with the probe? Try to wrap around the probe?  

Thanks

Wrap and poke, just like premarital sex

I poke a hole through the paper. Wrapping around the probe would be a little difficult and would probably result in a larger area for leakage.

I stick toothpicks in the thickest part of the flat before I wrap with paper, then push the toothpicks through the paper.  This way I know where to put the probe when I cant see.

I tried that and I put the temp probe in a few hours after, figuring that it would be cooking for 3-4 hours more. I didn't see the need to monitor the temp for at least 2 hours.
