Hot take: wrapping in butcher paper vs foil - which actually ruins bark faster?
I spent 4 hours on a brisket last Saturday only to pull it off and find soggy bark from foil. An old timer at a local comp said foil traps steam but I swear butcher paper dries it out. Anyone else deal with this and find a real solution?

Did you try venting the paper for fifteen minutes before wrapping or just seal it tight right away?

Venting? Ha, I tried that once and forgot about it for an hour. Ended up with paper so brittle it basically turned into confetti when I touched it. Sealed it tight right away after that disaster and it was fine, but probably just got lucky. You ever mess up something simple like that and wonder how you even function as an adult?
