How long can a cooler hold meat? - Page 2

If you fill the cooler (or use a smaller cooler), you can hold for a L-O-N-G time. I've had butts go 8 hours and still at 150 degrees. Just keep above 140.

I use aluminum pans, then wrap with heavy-duty foil. I wrap everything up in moving blankets and put into cooler. Sometime after 5 - 6 hours everything is still so hot you can barely hold it.

I invested in a really good insulated coleman cooler that will keep stuff hot for a long time as long as I keep everything wrapped up tight. And don't open the lid...

I have one of those Coleman 5 days cooler it hold for long time
