    I crutch after the first stall when I'm happy with my bark.

        Same here. Just pulled two briskets off with no crutch. Had plenty of time today so I just let them go.

      I wrap in butcher paper after the stall is finished , wrap around 175 degrees , like a good bark on it .

            Why the difference?

            andy.wpg the lower two grades benefit from the added moisture and slight braise. It will for sure have a negative effect on the bark, and give the brisket a slight roast beef flavor. That's why I use Prime most often, or a very heavily marbled CAB.
