What about trying to drop one of those lightbulbs on an extension cord into the cooler to keep the heat up? We added a rheostat to the cord so the heat could be ajusted. I use a remote thermometer inserted through the drain hole to monitor the temp inside the cooler as well as the one in the meat.
Just make sure the lightbulb doesn't touch the sides of the cooler. Works quite well for me.

Mike,I can not seem to hold things in warmed cooler. Wrapped in foil and towel the temp seems to drop pretty fast. I had to put flat in frig to wait on the butts.
