ATBBQ Butcher Paper 24″ × 6′ — Frequently Asked Questions
What is ATBBQ Butcher Paper 24″ × 6′ used for?
This butcher paper is food-grade, uncoated paper used for wrapping meats (especially after the stall), lining trays, or creating a cooking “tent” during low-and-slow BBQ. It allows moisture to escape while keeping external ash and debris off the meat.
Is this paper safe for use on grills, smokers, or with heat?
Yes. Butcher paper is intended to withstand moderate heat (e.g., inside a smoker environment) under indirect heat. It is not intended to be directly exposed to open flame or grates. Use it after the sear and during cooler, indirect phases.
Why use butcher paper instead of aluminum foil for wrapping meat?
Unlike foil, butcher paper is semi-permeable: it lets steam escape, which helps maintain bark moisture and texture while still protecting the meat from drying out too rapidly. It reduces condensation “sweat” inside the wrap and preserves bark better than foil in many BBQ circles.
Can I use this paper for cold or raw meat wrapping (e.g. butcher, deli)?
Yes — butcher paper is commonly used in meat markets to wrap raw cuts. Ensure it’s stored dry and handled hygienically. ATBBQ’s version is food-safe and suitable for raw meat handling.
How do I store and handle butcher paper properly?
Store in a dry, cool area to prevent moisture absorption or mildew. Cut only the length you need to minimize waste. Keep it clean and free of debris. Avoid storing it in overly humid or hot areas that could compromise strength.
What is the return or warranty policy?
Because it’s a consumable item, butcher paper is typically final sale or subject to limited return conditions under ATBBQ’s policy. Keep your order confirmation and check ATBBQ’s returns terms for wrapping/paper goods.
