Appreciation post: Finally got my brisket bark right after 4 tries

I kept seeing folks online say to wrap in foil when the stall hits, but that was making my bark all soft and mushy. Last weekend I tried butcher paper instead and left it unwrapped until 170 internal temp. The difference was night and day - that deep black crust finally held together. Has anyone else switched to paper and noticed a big change in their bark?

Yeah I read somewhere that paper lets it breathe while foil steams it.

Paper over foil every time for better bark.
