Oh I will. I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best. Like I said this is his thing. I'm trying to be a good teammate and let him roll with it. Sometimes the best thing is to let someone learn the hard way.

Who knows maybe it'll turn out better than his previous tries.

I can't see how the brisket will ever get any smoke flavor that way.

I can't either but like I said sometimes you have to let people learn the hard way.

Butcher paper. I never have problems with bark

+1 on Butcher paper, it will not cook it as fast as being wrapped in foil but works great for brisket and pork butts. I have noticed when I wrapped in foil that the spots where the bark was mushy would be the areas that still had some "membrane" if that is what it is called on the brisket or fat on it. I am in no way a great brisket cook but in competition it seems to be that a tender moist brisket and an awesome smoke ring is much more important than the bark. Just my thoughts
