My uncle swore by wrapping brisket in foil after 4 hours, and I finally tried it last weekend.
He said it would keep it from drying out, but my bark turned out soft and steamed instead of that nice crust. Has anyone found a better way to keep a brisket moist without ruining the bark?

It's the classic trade-off between safety and quality!

Foil is the problem, try butcher paper instead.

Yeah, butcher paper is a total game changer! It lets the bark form way better than foil ever could. I switched last year and won't go back.

Gotta admit, the first time I tried butcher paper I accidentally grabbed wax paper instead and ended up with a sticky, melty mess. Took me a minute to figure out why my brisket looked like a science experiment gone wrong.
