It looks like my large hard plastic cooler will be holding beer, so will the soft nylon insulated style coolers work for holding meat? Any difference in holding times?
I use a soft cooler exclusively. I've kept a large brisket and four racks of spares in it (wrapped in a bath towel) for several hours. Works like a charm and definately easier to carry over your shoulder when you're lugging a bunch of stuff to a party.
