I do not normally wrap butts when I cook them. When I have the bark seems to come out really soft and almost slimy sometimes.
I cooked my first brisket over the weekend and wrapped in butcher paper. Decided to do a test and weapped one of the butts I was cooking in butcher paper also. The bark on the butt was great, stayed solid but was not crunchy like I normally get when not wrapping.
Also, the butt was moister than the ones that were not wrapped.
How come you don't hear more about wrapping butts in butcher paper...it seems like almost everyone uses foil on butts???
