Advice needed: keeping turkeys at temp for dinner

[Jay Jordan]

I'm going to be smoking two turkeys for a family Thanksgiving dinner. The location of the gathering is a hour away. What are some methods to keep the turkeys at a good temperature for carving/eating between taking them off the smoker and arriving at location?

I need to transport my turkey (2hr drive). Do I let my turkey rest/tented or should I wrap in foil immediately? Plan to wrap in foil and then wrap in a towel and then put in a cooler. Rest or wrap immediately?

I invented that feeling! It happens o me all the time, I forget where I saw something and spend half an hour “searching” then I just start swearing and muttering at myself! Then I ask and 9/10 times DanHoo posts exactly what I was looking for! Sometimes I feel like this place is a serious part of my “extended memory”!
