    After paper wrap
    Here is another. This one isn’t so great but it still shows that heavy bark can be obtained with paper. Hey, if we are going to show the good ones, might as well show the not so good ones as well. In no way is the paper responsible for the less than stellar look. The drunk cook is 100% to blame here. 

    I would eat that drunk cook’s food any day of the week. 
    Just remember, he made NOLA puke with some nut cheese.

    Where do you guys buy your paper? 
    Brother Volt, here is an interesting and informative read on the authenticity of paper. If you have a minute, give it look.

    Well, I tried hot and fast brisket for the first time (Myron Mixon method) and while the brisket was very tender, flavorful and moist, the wrapping absolutely ruined my bark just like I expected it would despite others saying it would be okay. Lesson learned, “shortcuts” come with consequenses. Never again
    Question if I may, did you actually wrap or roll the brisket in foil, or did you put the brisket in a pan and simply cover the pan with foil? I know you can argue the point that it’s wrapped either way, but I have a pretty good reason for asking.

    I can go pick it up too. Only downside is you have to buy a lifetime supply (but it's only $35 with a stand cutter so no big deal).

    Sure is. Good thing I can't get deals like that around here, otherwise I'd be up to my ears in butcher paper and stand cutters.

    you only have to buy the cutter once. It's like $25-$30 for 1000 feet of paper if I remember right (it's been 3 years and I still have 3 left).

    They use to have a 2,000 foot roll. I only see a 1,000 foot roll now. Did they discontinue the 2,000 footer?

    I've got that exact stand cutter. But, I only have 18" rolls, not 24". I feel inadequate and now must have your long roll.

    I’d be cautious with that, I’ve heard they use horse hide to make that paper.
