Transporting meat on vacation

brown274Member

I am going to the mountains for a family reunion this weekend. I will be doing 4 butts thursday night for lunch/dinner on saturday night.The butts must be finished before I leave on friday morning. What do you think would be better. I am leaving @ 11am and the trip is 4-5hrs away.

A. have butts finished early friday morning @ 6am, let rest 2-3hrs, pull/package/cooler with ice for trip?

B. Take butts out at 10:30am, foil, wrap in sleeping bag and put in dry cooler for 4-5 hours, pull apart once I arrive then put in refridgerator.

C. Your suggestions

Thank you

I will take option B as that is what I do most often. Plus, if you preheat the cooler with hot water, it will hold cooked and foiled butts above 140 for 6-8 hours. At least, that has been my experience.

I agree with option B also.

Works very very well for me.
