Butcher paper brisket wrap

[dagodago1]

Greetings brain trust,

Am doing first brisket and getting close to wrap temp. Question on butcher paper wrap. Is it just one wrap or can you wrap it twice, ie. Circle the brisket more than once?
Thank you

Whatever it takes so it don't leak you jus.
I've had to lay two pieces side by side on a large brisket. I then wrapped again in case it leaked at the seam.

You should be fine with a double wrap.

I flip mine over twice, then fold the sides in at a taper to make sure there are no seams where the jus can leak out. There’s not really a wrong way to do it unless it’s leaking.

Well, i tried it with butchers papee and it didnt work too well, so with PB Temp probes i was using the wires didnt wrap so well, so went with aluminm foil and a couple meater probes i have (that are spotty on wifi/bluetooth). We shall see. Thank you for the replies.

I overlay two pieces of butcher paper and never had a problem. It doesn't matter. One suggestion, add some beef tallow either on the paper before wrapping or on top of the brisket. Just make sure to buy a quality tallow. No need to spend tons of money on Wagyu or "organic tallow, that's all BS. You can get a great tallow for $15.

I normally make a boat float out of aluminum foil and it seems to work out great.

Thanks for the input. I did try butcher wrap first but was using wired temp probes, and trying to wrap it and fighting the probe wires, then the juice accumulated in the wrap and it fell apart. So just went with foil. Next time will use my meater probes and just skip the PB Wired probes.

If you buy whole packer, grind trimmings and render them out on stove top.

My wrapped brisket always has at least 2 layers of butcher paper.
