I don't usually need to foil brisket. I usually foil pork butt because it is a

thicker meat and I have noticed every time I foil pork butt, it is extremely moist.

Google Aaron Franklin. He has a couple of Youtube videos with the whole process.

What fun is that? It's like going to Baskin Robbins and getting a vanilla cone.

Can you really trust someone who's smoking a vanilla ice cream cone? I mean, try to get a smoke ring on that

Do you guys foil or use butcher paper?

PharmD

Either. I use foil because I always forget to buy butcher paper. People will

I agree except for the bark. Butcher paper gives a firmer bark IMO

Do you have a pellet smoker? How long are your cooks? I switched to hot cooks

There is a lot of temperature variance inside the average pit during a cook.
