I’ve held 2 pork shoulders in the Walmart yeti cooler 22 qt I think? Take 4 bricks and wrap in foil, bake at 350 in a cold oven for an hour. Preheat cooler with hot water, drain and dry. Fold a towel and open it up and place the bricks. Place another small towel if necessary. I put my meat in a dollar store turkey pan and bent it to fit. Wrap pork in paper, too with foil and finally more towels. You want no room left over. This kept hot for over 8 hours, meat was 170 When I pulled from cooler, let test about half an hour and shred. 10/10 do again.

I wrap the meat in aluminum foil or in some cases ' paper ' for the last few hours of cooking.. Pull it when done and open it up for a few minutes. wrap it back up + wrap an old heavy beach towel around it & then into my pho-Cambro. Works great & hold for 6-8 hours without issue. A ton less $$$ than a Cambro or Yeti as well.

I've been holding my briskets and pork butts overnight in my home oven for over a year or so now. It's my understanding that most modern ovens allow for a temperature adjustment of +/- 30 degrees to account for variations from one oven to the next within the same brand/model ranges. My personal oven will hold as low as 170 degrees displayed temperature. To hold, I just adjust my *actual* oven temp to be -30 of my displayed temperature, then turn the oven on for 170-175 degrees. I cook my brisket/butt the day before (say from 8am-10 or 11pm), then throw it (wrapped up) in the oven overnight. It comes out jiggly, moist, and amazing every time! I'll use coolers for transportation the next day if I'm traveling to eat. I just pre-heat the cooler for 20-30 minutes with 150 degree water and add in hot bath towels for the drive.

I smoked 8 butts wrapped in a towel in a regular igloo cooler. Think they rested almost 8 hours before we ate. Ended up only needing 4 butts. The other 4 I left in cooler wrapped up overnight and they were still hot to touch in the morning. I did keep the cooler inside so that probably helped.

I use the party stackers to hold bbq and find that the more full it is the longer you can hold, or add towels etc. But I'm not surprised the yeti lapped it. Just curious about venting the steam. If you'd crack the meat a little it would steam at much lower temps so I'm not sure what it acctually accomplishes even at 203. I'd take it straight from the smoker to the cooler and I agree whole heartedly about warming them up first with hot water. It keeps the cooler from sucking the heat out of the meat, a big step most people forget to do. It works the other way too, if you want max time in the yeti for cold temps you need to cool it down first with some sacrificial ice, I like to do that the night before whenever possible.

@ricksundberg5659 Жыл бұрын

Yes, the less ambient air the longer the hold time. Same goes for keeping things cold.

@tdtommy196 Жыл бұрын

I would think that starting the hold when the meat is still 200 degrees would absolutely over cook it, and it would end up like pot roast. You want it to come down in temp before the hold. There's a guy on KZfaq, smoke trails BBQ. He made a sous vide holding chest out of an old chest freezer. He vaccuum seals the brisket at 150 then puts it in a sous vide bath at temp until it's time to serve. He also does some cool stuff like inject steam into his cook chamber with a cheap steam cleaner. Definitely worth a watch.

I wish you had mentioned the interior dimensions. I was thinking of buying a Yeti cooler for holding BBQ but was disappointed at the small interior space (and the high price!) of the Yeti coolers I saw in my local Ace Hardware store. Also you didn't get into practical cook timing. The Yeti may last 12 hours, but if you want to serve dinner at 7:00 PM and hold for 12 hours, you would have to finish your cook at 7:00 AM That would mean starting your cook around midnight (or later, depending on how long your protein takes to cook). I'm checking out the Coleman. Seems to me you wake up early, cook all day, and have a nice 2-4 hour rest.

@lightfusegetaway Жыл бұрын

Initial thought to really extend your hold time is you could stick a large coffee can, stock pot, or some other container down in the cooler and mostly fill it with boiling water. Your cloth or towel would get condensate on it but I'm now curious how much that would extend your hold time.

I have a brisket resting in a temporary styrofoam cooler. I ordered some meat and it came in one with a few ice packs as the store was 8 hours away. The last time I pulled a brisket at 205, wrapped it in plastic over the butcher paper, threw a towel on it and put it in the styrofoam cooler, it was still 158 internal 5.5 hours later. I could maybe insulate more with more towels or have more meat in there to extend the tme.

@usa91787 5 ай бұрын

Wrap it in foil, then wrap in a good size towel then again in foil shiny side in to reflect the heat back in. You should get another couple hours. I couldn't pick mine up. If it's cold outside then expect it to not hold as well.

Fun experiment. Other variables to consider are the amount of hot meat (😂) and size of the cooler relative to the amount of meat. Packing more meat into the space will allow the meat to stay hotter longer due to the increased thermal mass. The Yeti will still win, but it would be interesting to see how the Party Stacker does fully packed with meat.

Enjoyed the video but I am still left pondering something regarding holding brisket for hours in a yeti cooler. From what I've seen on KZfaq, many cooks recommend letting the brisket rest at room temperature and then hold the brisket in a cambro or other holding technique at around 145. Would letting a brisket rest to 155-165 or possibly 145-150 and then transferring to a yeti that has not been treated with hot water hold the brisket safely? I feel like warming up the yeti would keep it hotter than needed but I also have not tried it yet.

I have a party stacker and I feel it is adequate for transport or a shorter rest. I've been looking at companies with Rotomold cases like the Yeti you had in this video and feel like some of the cheaper companies should have these things out already at a more reasonable price as I think a 65 is needed for a larger packer brisket to rest it without folding it up. Maybe a company like yeti could sell a 35ish qt (like the partystacker) with the footprint of the larger coolers specifically for resting backyard BBQ. As I imagine most know a well rested brisket is an amazing brisket. I like to rest mine for a minimum of 8 hours and want to step up my game plus not using an oven in the summer would be a plus...

I hear you there Fred. I’d love a smaller rotomolded cooler just for resting single cuts of meat about a party stacker size would be great. I do have a video coming in about 10 days or so that I think you’re going to enjoy as a follow up to this one. ;)

Great video! I've been resting meat in a couple Cambro boxes I bought at an auction for years, but recently was tasked with cooking "Santa Maria" style medium rare tri tip for 500 people. I did a graduation party last year for 275 and cooked 65 tri tips to 120 degrees internal temperature and then rested in heavy aluminum foil and tossed in the cambros for about 2 hours. Then I cooked 250 chicken thighs on the coals using metal racks we built for our Santa Maria grill. I like to serve the chicken right off the grill while the skin still has some crisp texture, resting chicken in the Cambros or coolers always seems to compromise the crispiness of the chicken skin, which is something people always compliment me on. At the end of 2 hours the meat rose to 130 degrees and the meat turned out beautiful and super hot still. I sliced the tri tip on my Hobart 12" slicer into hotel pans and everyone raved about it. I was wondering if I could get 4 hours of hold on the tri tip and not overcook it or let it get cold in those same boxes or in Yeti's. I think after watching this video I'll be plenty safe.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm quite certain your interpretation of the results is incorrect. The internal temperature of the pork is not what need to be held above 140F, but the entirety of the pork. The surface of your meat is now below 140F (likely well below judging by the air temps) and that's my understanding of the definition of the "danger zone". The test should be to measure air temp, if its above 140F then its safe, otherwise it isnt. Again I'm no expert but thats my understanding

I know my oven won’t go that low, so that’s why on my end.

You could have done a better job of wrapping the meat before putting it in the cooler.

Please do this test not with a cooler that’s 5 times too big with 2 feet of empty space inside. You need to fill up empty space, or get the proper size cooler before doing any kind of comparison what so ever!

Why would you compare a smaller, thinner cooler made for keeping drinks cold at parties to a big, well insulated, way more expensive cooler made for keeping things cold for many hours?

If you buy a yeti you need to get your priorities straight they are crazy expensive and a Coleman 7 day is just as good and hundreds of dollars cheaper you can buy you wife something nice and shut your ego down and become a man again.word !
