How long can it sit in a cooler and maintain a safe temp?
I never grill cold protein. Does it matter if the PB comes right of the frig and onto the grill?
Holding time answee: depends on the size of the meat and temp it came finished at. Wrapped in a thick towel and set in an Igloo, you should be ok for 2-4 hrs. Your baseline safe temp is 160.
Cold protein, whether grilled or smoked will take a bit longer to finish but there's no harm in doing it.
