    I appreciate what a wrap does for the meat. On occasion, I’ll wrap the meat. But for me, the experience of cooking outdoors, using open flame and taking a long time to cook, especially if adding smoke makes the imperfection of a rack of ribs, or a brisket just part of the experience. Generally I avoid the wrap, sometimes I use it, depends on the actual piece of meat. Fatty doesn’t need wrapping, leaner needs a wrap. Great videos, thanks.

    The paper won’t stop from curling back up after coming off the roll? Tear of the amount you need and wad it up in a ball. It doesn’t have to be into a tight ball. Smooth the paper back out. The paper will now lay flat without rolling back up. Works for parchment paper as well.

    I agree with you on the Paper vs Foil wrapped and I'm sure you'll find the same difference if you do brisket. When Justin, James, and I did our brisket test, we actually placed paper wrapped in 3rd place. Overall, being in Texas, we preferred the naked ribs and brisket. However, we like more smoke flavor/ring and harder bark. This was a great test Roel. I'm sure this video will do very well for you my brother!!! Cheers to ya and keep that smoke rollin' brother!!!!

    Hi T, thanks for stopping by bro. So funny how these preferences are super local. I loved the bark on the naked ribs, but we are used to juicy fall of the bone ribs here so that is what I expect. In our local pinion that is what they should taste like. We do't have much experience with brisket. Thats why it is a taste that we still have to develop. I am curious to see if the butchers paper will add more value there. Otherwise... why is it so popular?

    In Australia, we often use a combination of baking paper which is a silicone coated or wax coated paper which has contact with the meat and prevents sticking and then wrap it in foil to keep the heat without contact with the aluminium. The baking paper and foil allow you to add liquids if you want without any issue as the wax paper won't absorb moisture.

    Nice comparison. Like most, I've done it all three ways too. I think drum type smokers do good with no wrap with hanging ribs over the coals. I began with using foil the first year, then began using some butcher paper on butts and briskets. I just like the BP better. IMO, foil when applied double really builds up a steam bath on the ribs and if they are left in too long can cook the bone almost out. Butcher paper doesn't do as much of that. also I only leave them wrapped for 1 hour. Thanks, enjoyed watching. Merry Christmas

    A credible test, but a few personal observations: Try smoking at 275°F. I find that the results are better rendering and flavor, as well as texture. You may not find it so, but I don't like foiling or papering because the ribs tend to have more of a ham texture and flavor. Paper causes less of this affect than foil but it is still there. Smoking without covering at 275° does remove more moisture from ribs, but this is a good thing if done correctly. There is still moisture within the meat and the benefit is more intense meat flavor- too much moisture dilutes flavor. This method produces a rib that has the appearance of less moisture, better bark, and a texture that might be characterized as " flaky". This is a winning result. It may take a few tries, but it is worth it. Just as dry aging benefits steaks, and curing benefits bacon and ham, removing excess moisture in meat is crucial to flavor.

    What a great discussion! This is what BBQ is all about, should it be done this way or should it be done that way? Should the meat fall of the bone or should you have to gnaw on it? This is why I don't like BBQ competitions with a bunch of rules saying how it should be done. It should be done the way YOU like it! My judges are me and my spouse, and to a lesser extend a few others that may sit around our table from time to time. I know what the judges are thinking when the conversation stops and it gets real quiet at the table except for the sound of lip smacking...

    Mr. X, I would recommend starting seasoning from bottom side first that way when you do the top you don't smear or wipe off the top layer. And the natural curve of the bones help to keep more rub on the bottom layer. Like you mentioned a binder is always good, I do recommend a good mustard. Just a tip... ;)

    It definitely takes longer to cook unwrapped. Also the rib on top will cook slower than the bottom in a Kamado Joe. So when you combine those two factors, you will add 1-2 hours extra cook time. I have a KJ as well. I did 3 slabs this weekend- using the expander. I wrapped them all and the expander rib was every bit of an hour behind. It is kind of hard to do these tests on different height racks. I know it is just inches but it makes a significant difference. I really enjoyed the well produced video.

    1) if you want good flavor from your rib, don't just dust and immediately throw on the grill. Apply the rub well, wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight (some pro pitmasters go 48hrs) so as some moisture is pulled from the rib surface, the spices penetrate well. If you have the time, it's worth it. If you wrap your ribs, use butcher paper. The heat transfer is better and more importantly for me, someone who used to cook a fair amount of food in foil (fish, potatoes and veggies, meats, etc.) It turns out that the foil breaks down and POISONS your food. Don't just take my word for it, look it up. If you cook food in foil very often, stop. Find another way. The folks who make and sell foil by telling you how cool, convenient and quick it is to cook food in foil pouches somehow neglect to tell you that you're poisoning your children! And yourself. Anyways... Most any butcher shop will sell you a roll (or part) of paper at a reasonable price. It's easy to get. ALSO, as your cooking your ribs, etc., its common to push a thermometer or skewer, etc. thru the paper and into the meat to test for the even tenderness indicating the doneness of the meat. It just works better with the paper. Also, some of the liquids are released but still keeping the meat moist. Wrapping with foil actually steams the food, removing some of your spice rub and cooking sometimes too fast to develop the flavors wanted (depending on what you're doing) and can make the meat too "soggy" requiring more time open air cooking to try to recover the bark/finish of the outside of your food. It's just overall easier to control and produces a better finished product when you use paper.

Remove foil, finish on grill with wood chips at high heat, brushing on bbq sauce near the end until it caramelizes.

    I am so glad I found this video, I believe we should NOT be using aluminum foil to cook our food in, or aluminum of any kind, pots, dishes etc. So I will now be using butcher paper, I was not aware it would stand up to bbquing. I use it a lot to line my baking dishes it just did not occur to me to use it for my meats etc. So thanks, and please look up the harm alluminum foil can do to your health and maybe you will change your mind too. Again thank you.

    Ive found that the 3-2-1 method works pretty damn well(3hrs smoke, 2hrs wrapped in foil w or wo extra butter etc, and 1 hr unwrapped to tighten the ribs and crisp the bark). Ive varied this many times and experimented with/without wrapping(but always w foil, never tried butcher paper w ribs)

    You mentioned it being a little over cooked on the wrapped ribs and I have felt the same way on mine so I dropped the wrap time down to an hour and a half vs 2 hours. Now I feel like the ribs stay nice and tender but still have a snap off the bone feel.

    Foil is used if you want to add a brazing concoction. Paper is used to retain internal moisture while developing bark. No wrap is KC style or for a dark almost black bark.

    I’ve tested between foil and the paper wrap, I just like the foil better it’s easier I don’t buy butchers wrap for anything else so I’ve always got foil anyway plus it really holds moisture better when you’re cooking thick pork chops or something like that you can wrap it up with the butter and wrap it tight and cook it quickly for a few minutes on each side and get it good and cooked through and tender and then take it out and finish the seer and sauce or whatever you choose to do. To just do it low and slow to try and get those thick pieces of meat tender can take an hour or two otherwise it’s really not better. I just like foil better for the ribs as well it’s not as messy either all that juice end up dripping into your grill. I’ve never been able to cook ribs without wrapping them at all they always come out dry. Lol. Yours all good though I think I agree with you I like them cooked a little less and I still like a little texture invite to them instead of falling off the bone. If you can see the bone when it starts to spackle instead of turning all white that’s usually what I get from what I would call the perfectly cooked rib once those bones are turned all white that’s usually indicative of them being over cooked but I’m sure different cuts of meat inside might make a difference on all of that as well. I like the comparison shows like this

    While I'm not at any level to compete, I do all my ribs in heavy duty foil in the oven. I realize that that is sacrilege but that's the way I make my clan happy. I start with a dry rub (no salt) 24 hrs before. When wrapping them, they get another rub coating just to be sure that everyone's going to be happy. After 4 hr at 270 I turn the broiler on and get a bit of colour and extra caramelization/yumminess. It doesn't get any easier than that. Same recipe for years and it's a hit every single time.

    The magic happens as the smoke penetrates the exterior muscle fibers at lower meat temps. The first couple hrs are the key. There are minor differences in finishing ( I prefer AF for last couple hrs) but what you do the first couple hrs has more to do with finished product than anything else.

    The reason to wrap is to overcome the temperature stall and get the meat to desired temp, before it dries out. So the meat will be both tender and juicy. The reason why people use butcher paper is it absorbs some of those juices. Some people want the “bark” texture. So butcher paper allows them to have that bark and still benefit from the wrap. If you don’t wrap, it takes longer to cook the meat and it can become dry. If you wrap in foil, the meat sits in the juices. Pink butcher paper gives you the best of both worlds. But it also depends on what you are cooking. If you are going to finish your ribs in barbecue sauce, then it doesn’t make much difference. But for brisket, where you want the bark, pink butcher paper is best.

    you can also wrap your smoke wood in foil. doing so will make it last some longer and give more smoke. In by far most cases it will keep the smoke wood from actually catching fire and burning away. So when you're done it leaves you with another chunk of charcoal for your next cooking session.

Plus flame was coming out the top of the grill, we stifled the flame everything looked cooked the cheese on the pizza was tan but not melted it looked as if it was sun burned. We went in and grabbed the meat probe and tested the ribs they were at 180°f so it's been about ten minutes since we threw them on but they were amazing.
