Butcher Paper

A heavy-duty, unbleached, and unwaxed paper used to wrap meat (The Texas Crutch) during the smoking process.

Peach or pink butcher paper is favored over foil because it is porous. It allows some steam to escape and smoke to enter, which helps protect the bark from becoming ‘mushy’ while still speeding up the cook.
