Butcher Paper Width

[BruceB]

Getting ready to order some butcher paper, but I have one question. You guys and gals that use it, do you have the 18" wide or the 24" wide? Thanks!

24” - go big or go home. Same with foil, I’ve got a huge restaurant supply-sized roll of super heavy duty.

[JbTech]

I bought a large roll in 2015. 18"
I don't wrap often, so I've still got roughly 50' left on this roll.

24” works better.

[GrassRun]

24” here

18 and you need 2 pieces for even small briskets. 24 minimum.

Thanks for reminding me. I just ordered some pink butcher paper. 24" x 175'.

I use 18" paper and overlap two sheets to wrap briskets.

No need for anything wider than 18", and you only need one sheet. Check out Vencil and his crew at the 3:23 mark to see how to wrap perfectly: https://vimeo.com/42787761

I use 24", covers a brisket quick and easy.

I like 18" because you can adjust it by over lapping to fit small 8 pound briskets up to about 16/17 pound briskets. You can overlap 24 but it becomes too "papery" on smaller briskets in my opinion.

I have both, but use 18" 90% of the time. Only when I have big 18~ pound briskets do I bring out the 24".

[BillN]

24" is my first choice, or get both if you got room to store it.

There was some very important details in that segment.

Screenshot of Dylan showing me how he wraps brisket. Uses 18" and overlaps and it's a clean wrap wrap that holds all the juice. That brisket looks like a swaddled baby.

Like what? I did not agree with any of it.

What parts didn't you agree with? The most important part was the time , the temp , and the rest.

I use 18", cut about 4 ft, fold in 1/2, lift the top piece, slide the brisket back to the fold with 1/2 under and 1/2 on top, roll the sides and end, hold with clothes pins, single layer of paper, when its time to probe unpin and open, if it needs more time reroll and pin, haven't cooked a brisket too big to do this way

[HuskyJW]

Bigger is always better. :)

[tchilton]

24” good. 36” better. Can get it at https://fruitawoodchunks.com/shop?olsPage=products%2Fpeach-or-white-butcher-paper

He said he pulls at 180. Never under any circumstance on earth have I had edible brisket that was pulled at 180 no matter how long it sat in a cooler. Even the one's I cooked to the 190's were hit and miss, mostly misses.

There's a reason the place around the corner has a line out the door and Taylor Cafe is a ghost town.

[DBBQ]

Personal preference...I buy 24"

Some people like dry slices of brisket dunked in beef broth.
