Hot take: wrapping brisket in butcher paper vs foil is not the game changer people say

I spent months testing both on my offset smoker here in Nashville. Did 4 briskets side by side, same rub, same cook temp. Honestly? The bark was a tiny bit better with paper but the moisture was almost identical. I think people hype it up way more than it matters. Has anyone actually done a blind taste test and picked a winner?

My 4 test cooks all favored paper for bark, so I gotta disagree.

Did you wrap at stall or temp probe the internal difference?
