ckreef Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 What about plain brown kraft paper. I know it's technically not "food grade" but it doesn't have a coating. I just can't see where a minute amount of other chemicals left over from the manufacturering process is going to get on or in a brisket especially since the brisket is expelling liquid not sucking it up. I use this as a larger disposable table cloth when eating crab legs and I'm sure I've dropped crab meat on it then ate the said crab meat. Not dead yet - LOL Any thoughts on using this for a brisket.

tinyfish Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I dont know the difference would be. I was able to get a 1000' roll of butchers paper for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ora Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 You go for it mate I will understand if I don't hear from you lol. But seriously I don't see it being a problem is the paper similar to the take away bags like Mac Donald's I found this http://www.food.com/recipe/steak-in-a-bag-59712?photo=260058. Worth a shot if your thinking it's cheaper than butchers Outback Kamado Bar and Grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) It's not a question of money, more a question of availability where I live without mail ordering it. I can get brown kraft paper just about anywhere. Edited September 21, 2016 by ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstr8 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) To that end, would a paper grocery bag be suitable? Should be "food safe" since its a food vessel. Edited September 21, 2016 by dstr8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Over at BBQ Brethren I've seen folks claim the only thing off limits is foil or papers with coatings. Some have used craft paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Just make sure that it's really FDA approved for food safety. http://www.oren-intl.com/blog/bid/265736/Are-You-Using-100-FDA-Approved-Butcher-Paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billg71 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Kraft papers are wet strength papers, check out the link and decide for yourself if you want the chemicals that go into making it in your food. Personally, I'm not a big fan of urea or formaldehyde. YMMV. Edited September 21, 2016 by billg71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the company that makes the pink butcher paper that I use, so they have a vested interest, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I followed the tissue paper link that refers to facial tissue, toilet paper, paper towels etc.... So basically you are already exposing yourself to those chemicals on a daily basis. I don't eat toilet paper, I won't eat the kraft paper and I don't live in CA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xraydoc Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I think he is trying to be funny as if the chemicals in the paper have given him side effects. It is hard to decipher though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
