How do you wrap a packer in butcher paper?

[71-South]

OK, this might be a dumb question, but that's just how I roll.

Gonna do a full packer tomorrow per Bludawg's advice, 300° and wrap in butcher paper. I picked up a roll of 18" butcher paper from Sam's.

How do I wrap this thing and keep the paper from coming undone. I was thinking of using the gun stapler, but I'm afraid it might leave a metallic taste on the meat.

Any videos or tutorials that demonstrate how to do this?

Yours in ignorance,
Bret

don't overcomplicate it..

just wrap it so top/bottom & sides are covered, and then leave the last end portion on the bottom so the brisket sits on it and hold it down.

It's your really concerned, just put a piece of masking tape

Go to You Tube, Type in BBQ with Franklin,The brisket.

He is excellent in making Brisket.

Wrapped my first brisket yesterday. It's simple; just make sure to tear off enough paper to have plenty to fold under the brisket and place folded side down. Eventually the grease ate through the paper, so I used a second piece during the rest period.

Thanks all. Cool videos. I overcomplicate everything.

If this guy ever gets to the point, and you forget about the foil... you will see him wrap a brisket in Paper first... well.... he wraps it several times.

Donnie, you may want to calibrate your thermometer, I think it's 10 minutes off.

I just bought the 1,000 ft 18" roll at Sam's ($17). I'll have plenty to practice wrapping with.:-D

I fold & roll like a huge beefy burrito.
