Injections and Brines
If your cooking a brisket, pork butt, turkey, ribs, or chicken. Put flavor deep inside the meat. While our rubs covers the outside flavors.
You've spent hours building the bark. Choose a wrap that helps protect your work. Butcher BBQ Pink / Peach Butcher Paper is an unwaxed, unbleached, uncoated food-contact paper used for wrapping brisket, ribs, pork shoulder, and other smoked meats.
Unlike a tightly sealed foil wrap, butcher paper allows some moisture vapor to pass through. That makes it a popular choice for Texas-style brisket cooks who want to help manage moisture while preserving more of the bark's texture through the finish.
Wait until the bark has developed and holds its color and texture before wrapping. Many briskets reach this stage during the stall, often around 160–170°F internal temperature, but the bark itself should guide your decision.
Pull enough paper for a secure overlap, typically using two layers. Wrap the brisket snugly, fold the ends underneath, and return it to the smoker with the seam held in place. Continue cooking until the meat is tender, then rest it appropriately before slicing.

Pink or peach butcher paper is used to wrap brisket and other BBQ meats during cooking or resting. It helps contain rendered juices while allowing more moisture vapor to escape than a tightly sealed foil wrap.
The listed roll is 24 inches wide and 150 feet long. The current product listing has one variant; an 18-inch option is not listed.
No. The listed paper is unwaxed, unbleached, and uncoated.
The product is listed as FDA approved for food-contact use. Use it as directed and avoid direct flames or contact with heating elements.
Foil forms a much tighter moisture barrier and can soften bark as steam collects. Uncoated butcher paper is more breathable, which may help preserve more bark texture while the brisket finishes cooking.
Wrap when the bark is set and you're happy with the color, often during the stall around 160–170°F internal temperature. Bark appearance matters more than hitting one exact temperature.
Use enough paper to overlap securely, often in two layers. Place the brisket on the paper, fold it snugly around the meat, tuck the ends underneath, and return it to the smoker with the seam secured by the brisket's weight.
Yes. Food-grade uncoated butcher paper can be used to wrap ribs, pork shoulder, and other BBQ cuts when you want a more breathable wrap than foil.
No. It may help reduce steaming compared with foil, but bark texture depends on the rub, smoke, airflow, temperature, moisture, and wrapping technique.
No. Keep paper away from open flames, heating elements, and other ignition sources. Follow your cooker's instructions and do not exceed the paper's verified temperature limits.
No. Discard paper that has contacted raw or cooked meat and absorbed juices or grease. Use fresh paper for each cook.
Keep the roll clean and dry, away from moisture, grease, heat, and contamination. Store it in a cabinet or other protected location.
Yes. The product listing states that an oversize shipping surcharge applies. Review the shipping charge at checkout before ordering.

When I'm cooking brisket, I don't wrap just because the thermometer reaches a number. I look at the bark first. Once it's set and I'm happy with the color, butcher paper gives me a way to wrap the meat without sealing it up as tightly as foil.
That difference matters when you've spent hours building the outside of a brisket. Paper isn't a guarantee of perfect bark or a shortcut around good fire management, but it's a tool I like for the way it fits into a Texas-style cook.
This 24-inch-wide roll gives you room to work with larger cuts. Pull off what you need, wrap snugly, and finish the cook based on tenderness. Trust Your Butcher.
