Using butchers paper for substrate?

[RideRed12]

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about butchers paper or basically the white paper your meat is wrapped in. I'm able to get several new unused rolls for a fairly decent price so that is why I ask.

Things I'm concerned about-
-Chemicals in the paper to retain freshness
-The bleach they use to whiten the paper
-Anything else that could harm the animals

I've used butchers paper, works great. The stuff I used was brown though. Should be fine

Gotta love the perks of working at a grocery store! Thanks Aaron, I didn't think anything would be wrong with it. Can't ever be too paranoid when it comes to the life of something else though!

Butchers paper is similar to the Kraft paper I use, with the exception of the color. It sould work out fine for you. If it's the kind with a smooth side, just put the smooth side down.

I use unbleached packing paper from lowes or home depot.

Slim, it is the kind with the smooth side. I think I'm just gunna go for it, I've been using unprinted newspaper but that's fairly unreliable in my area. With this paper I can get it any day of the week for less than twenty dollars a roll. Each roll is roughly 18in. wide and about a million feat long. lol

Thanks guys!
