Brisket butcher paper and temps

Thespanishgrill · Oct 25, 2013

Morning all,

Going to try a little brisket on the wsm today and wanted to try the butcher paper wrap. I got some from my local store butcher and it has wax on one side can i use that or do I need unwaxed ?
Final question is at what temp does the paper catch fire, I do well enough burning food without help thank you very much.

Cheers and happy smoking weekend !

Today is the day I conquer the brisket !! .. i hope. . . :tape:

No wax, that is freezer paper, you want unwaxed. It won't catch fire, it's never been an issue for me.

Ok I'll let the kids color on this stuff and see if I can find some unwaxed. Thanks

I just looked and this is what I got plus a dispenser.

I use it for briskets, I use it under cutting boards when I season to help cleanup, kids use it to color on, etc. it's a lot of paper, but it's nice to have on hand.

Parchment paper works too, if'n you can't find butcher paper locally.

checked that site, thank you by the way. Is 24 wide enough as they have a 30 but it only comes in white. Why do you prefer the red ?

Thanks

I bought the waxed paper by accident and haven't have any issues with it.

But I thought parchment paper had wax (silicone)

I use parchment paper also cuz Walmart has it but no butcher paper-- I had if stick to Brisket but it was on charred fat cap so no biggie.

Just in terms of storage 24" was all I could really get. But I've haven't had a problem with it being too small. And even if I did, you can overlap them and have almost double the width.

This stuff I have with the wax on the one side, could I wrap the brisket on the paper side or would the wax cause some other unhealthy issue.

I got my butcher paper at smart and final. I believe its 24 inches. I just overlap if I need to. About 15 bucks a roll.

It doesnt matter if the paper is white or red.. I use the white paper from Sams, it cost about $17
