Pink Butcher Paper - 18" x 1000'

Here’s what Aaron Franklin has to say about why he uses Pink Butcher paper to wrap his world famous BBQ brisket:

“The briskets need to stay covered so that the bark doesn’t get ripped off of them when they’re being pink butcher paper brisketthrown around. We also wrap them once we know we’ve gotten a certain amount of smokiness. I started using paper because it was cheaper than foil. Foil also gets things real steamy. It’s known as the “Texas Crutch” and it would be embarrassing for me to use foil on briskets… I think foiled briskets end up a little pot-roasty for my taste, and the paper breathes a little better… It’s really there for protection, but an added side effect is that it helps retain moisture.”
