Why does nobody talk about wrapping brisket in butcher paper from a local craft shop instead of the big box store stuff

Last weekend I grabbed a roll of unwaxed butcher paper from a small shop in my neighborhood for $8 and it clung to my brisket way better than the generic roll from the grocery store, plus the bark came out noticeably crunchier after a 12 hour smoke has anyone else noticed a difference with different paper brands?

The local stuff is just denser, holds moisture better without getting all flimsy.

Denser paper makes a real difference in bark formation through the whole cook.
