I only use the cooler method. I pull off around 9:00am and wrap in foil and pop in a cooler that is stuffed with towels. When I slice at 5:00, still too hot to touch inside. It works perfect.

False bottem cooler with sous vide. Should be able to rest aslong as you want.

No follow through on this one, should have cut it once you pulled it out of the cooler.

Just rested 2 7-8lb porkbutts and a16lb brisket in my 65q yeti for 12 hours.. Wow they both rocked.. In at 200 degrees at 11 pm, pulled out at 11am the next morning at 158 degrees.. Dam that Yeti holds in the heat! Of Course I pre heated it and stuffed old towels in there also.. Thank you for this video bud!

See, the "check back in in a few hours." for me is literally "i need to check this every 20-30 minutes because my small offset cannot keep the heat" and it makes it a lot more tedious of a smoke. Jealous of these bigger smokers that allow that ability to just set the temp and walk away for a bit

It made me a little sad to see the HEB label on the brisket. I miss not having an HEB around
now that I moved.

Have you done this experiment using the common man's igloo cooler (wink wink)?

Instead of wrapping in a towel, i wrap the brisket in butcher paper like you do, then i put it into an aluminum "boat", then layer the bottom of the cooler with towels, put brisket in, put an aluminum sheet on top of brisket, put more towels on top. close cooler. Keeps the towel from getting greasy. Letting it rest in cooler for 12 or so hours was a game changer.

Fair warning. If you do this enough it will warp your cooler. Trust me. Lol. I have a $400 Yeti that won't seal properly. A few times won't hurt, but I'd guess I did around 30-40 before I noticed.
