I thought the whole 'wrap your brisket in butcher paper' thing was just for show

Honestly, I was sure foil was fine and the paper was just a gimmick for TV. Then I tried it on my last cook and the bark stayed perfect, not soggy at all. Anyone else switch from foil and have it actually make a difference?

Guess my last brisket was a foil-wrapped tragedy then, whoops.

Foil can be a real crutch sometimes. My neighbor swears by butcher paper now after his last one turned into a steamed mess. He said it was like eating a pot roast that forgot it was supposed to be brisket. That kind of thing just makes you want to fire up the smoker again right away.
