Crutch wrap

[Greg A BigBillsFan]

I am NOT a newbie. But I've never wrapped a brisket Texas style. Was considering giving it a try. My question, > what is the recommended paper and where do you acquire it? Thank you.

Pink butcher paper. easily acquired from Amazon.

…..and be aware that rolls are commonly available in 18 and 24" width along with a variety of lengths. I would prefer the 24" width.

I was able to find 36" width on Amazon. Glad I did.

Restaurant supply stores will sometimes carry it. I bought a big roll a couple years back and still have plenty left. Even with the expensive shipping costs it was still cheaper than buying smaller rolls from Amazon: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/18-.../43318PEA.html

It will usually be called pink or peach paper. Don't used plain white butcher paper or brown craft paper.

I get mine from Amazon usually, but HEB carries smaller rolls that I use in a pinch. Oh, I'm talking about paper.

I ordered a roll of the 24" x 175' from Amazon. Hope I live long enough to use it up!! Thanks for the info folks. One last question. Anyone ever wrap ribs with it too?

I will use it to wrap ribs after the cook. generally if I am serving for numbers. Otherwise I don't wrap ribs. But it works great from wrapping a brisket during or after the cook. Same goes for any meat. I also like to have a roller stand to make it easy to dispense and cut the paper. It makes things breeze.
