The 5-day coolers do a much better job than a regular cooler. I line the bottom of it with a big piece of foil that reflects the heat as well as catch any leaking juice. I put 4 butts in it last week and when I took them out 4 hours later they were still at 170-175*. If I think it's gonna be longer than that I stick a probe in one and cover all of it with foil (shiny side down this time).
