Has your brisket ever come out tasting like butcher paper.

Fairly recently I smoked a brisket, did the usual wrap in butcher paper right after the stall. Pulled the brisket when done, open ended and let it breath for a short while then re wrapped in fresh butcher paper and rested in a cooler for a few hours. When I slice it and ate the brisket had a strong unmistakable taste of paper. Anybody else ever run into this?

You had treated paper.

You might have added too much butcher paper. Next time try and cut back on the butcher paper, Or mix it with some aluminum foil.

Nope. Never even heard of that before. Seems like something going on with the paper. Is it a new roll or the same you have used in the past?

Tell us, exactly what does butcher paper taste like?

Nope. I only use Texas butcher paper.

I'm going to guess along with the others it is paper related. Be interesting to know which brand of butcher paper you used.

It’s some I had ordered off of Amazon. I had used it before without getting an off taste, but the brisket did rest wrapped quite a bit longer this time than I had done in the past

I’ve never tasted butcher paper so not sure

My first brisket was decades ago. It tasted worse than any paper you could think of.

Just curious why you re-wrapped before the rest?

Fresh dry paper on hot dry bark in a cooler with not much humidity? :noidea: Just trying to think how it could happen assuming the paper was good, not suggesting your brisket was dry. Was the paper soaked in rendered fat at the end of the cook before you re-wrapped it? I'm guessing it was the fresh paper that gave it that taste.
