Pink / Peach Butcher Paper for Smoking Brisket — 24 Inch x 150 Foot Roll

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.

Why Pitmasters Choose Pink Butcher Paper

24 inches wide: Gives you room to wrap larger cuts such as full packer briskets.
150-foot roll: Cut the amount you need for each cook.
Unwaxed, unbleached, uncoated: Designed for food-contact wrapping without a wax or plastic coating.
More breathable than foil: Allows some moisture vapor to escape instead of sealing it all inside.
Inner core feet included: Designed for use with a compatible paper cutter or dispenser.

When and How to Wrap Brisket

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.

Shipping note: This oversized roll is subject to an oversize shipping surcharge. Review shipping charges at checkout.

Let Me Tell You More

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.

Pitside Answers

Ask the Pitmaster

What cooks ask us most about Pink / Peach Butcher Paper for Smoking and BBQ, answered straight from the pit.

What is pink butcher paper used for when smoking brisket?

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.

What size is the Butcher BBQ Pink Butcher Paper roll?

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.

Is this butcher paper coated or waxed?

No. The listed paper is unwaxed, unbleached, and uncoated.

Is this paper intended for food contact?

The product is listed as FDA approved for food-contact use. Use it as directed and avoid direct flames or contact with heating elements.

How is pink butcher paper different from aluminum foil?

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.

When should I wrap brisket in butcher paper?

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.

How do I wrap a brisket with butcher paper?

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.

Can I use butcher paper for ribs or pork shoulder?

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.

Does butcher paper guarantee a crisp bark?

No. It may help reduce steaming compared with foil, but bark texture depends on the rub, smoke, airflow, temperature, moisture, and wrapping technique.

Can I put pink butcher paper directly over a flame?

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.

Can I reuse butcher paper after wrapping meat?

No. Discard paper that has contacted raw or cooked meat and absorbed juices or grease. Use fresh paper for each cook.

How should I store a roll of butcher paper?

Keep the roll clean and dry, away from moisture, grease, heat, and contamination. Store it in a cabinet or other protected location.

Is there an extra shipping charge for this butcher paper?

Yes. The product listing states that an oversize shipping surcharge applies. Review the shipping charge at checkout before ordering.
