How long can a brisket sit in a cooler?

Chef's answer
I've kept a briskets, porkbutts, chicken, sausage warm for 4 hours like that. I've kept one in a cooler for 10 hours before and it was still warm. Briskets were plenty hot when I pulled them out of the cooler after about 6 hours.

You can usually safely rest a brisket up to 4 hours foil-wrapped in a cooler with towels. In my book, the longer the better -- no less than 2 hours and preferably 3 or longer.
Whole boiled crawfish may be refrigerated and eaten cold. Store as you would any other cooked item. Stored properly, whole cooked crawfish can last 2-3 days in refrigeration. Another option is to peel all leftover crawfish and make other dishes..

At home, you can rest briskets and pork butts just like barbecue competitors and restauranteurs. Place some towels in the bottom of an empty cooler to protect the plastic from the hot meat. Wrap the meat with more towels as insulation and place into the cooler..
10 hoursYou should always make sure that it doesn't dip below 140 degrees. If you want to make sure that there is next to no chance of this happening, you can fill up the rest of the air space in the cooler with even more towels and blankets. This should keep your brisket nice and warm for up to 10 hours.
