It's been a while since I cooked a packer, and while it's only going to be 40 today, the sun is out and it "looks" like spring.  Fired the WSM at 3 am.  Cooking a 14.5 lb choice beast from GFS.  It took some creativity to shoehorn this in the 18.5!

I did a simple s&p rub, and today I'm trying a butcher paper wrap for the first time.  Gfs has 1000 ft rolls for $22.  It's 180 IT now.  Bark was set below before the wrap.  Hope it turns out well. 

Turned out great.  Excellent bark!

So did you fold it or curl it on its side to fit?

I used a bread loaf pan to prop it up and used the grate handles to hold the flat in place.

Old picture but same concept.

I can see wanting to keep the bread pan clean but what's the foil on the other end, for? To shield the flat from excess heat?

All looks grate BTW.

Yes.  Exactly.
