Pro tip: I started wrapping my brisket in peach paper after 6 hours instead of foil and it kept the bark way better.

I was always getting a soggy bark with foil, but switching to peach butcher paper at the 165 degree mark let it breathe just enough to stay crisp, anyone else tried this method?

Yeah, peach paper is a total game changer for bark.

Totally agree with @amy_anderson. Saw it first hand on some young maples I was worried about. The light color reflects just enough heat to stop the bark from cooking on the south side. Before I used it, I'd always get those long vertical splits by late July. Now the trunks look smooth and healthy right through the hottest part of the year. It's cheap insurance.

Used to think it was just hype until I tried it on some cherry trees last season. The color really does make a difference for sun protection, like @amy_anderson said. My bark stayed way more even without those dry, cracked spots. What thickness do you usually go with?
