Big Green Egg x YETI Hopper® M30 Tote Soft Cooler

Tips for Using Your Cooler as a Resting Bag:  

Liner protection: Double wrap your meat tightly in butcher paper or foil, then place in a leak-proof container or bag before placing it in the cooler to protect the M30's interior liner from the hot meat and grease that can cause damage.  

Hold temperatures steady: Use towels to fill any empty space or air pockets to help stabilize and hold temperatures. 

Food safety: Ensure the internal temperature of your protein stays above 140°F (60°C) for food safety.  

Residual Smell: Smoke and grease can leave a lingering scent and oil residue in soft cooler liners. Using a "sacrificial" towel or an open plastic bag inside the towels can help catch leaks and odors.  

Bark Integrity: While coolers are great for tenderness, the trapped steam can sometimes soften the brisket's "bark." If you prefer a crunchier exterior, consider resting it on the counter until it hits 170-180°F (76-82°C) before moving it to the cooler 

Orientation Matters: Lay the cooler on its side so the brisket rests flat. This helps keep the meat supported and juices evenly distributed during the rest. 

WARNING: Do not leave your soft cooler open in the presence of animals. Entrapment and suffocation can occur.  

WARNING: Hopper® Soft Coolers are not compatible with dry ice. Use of dry ice will cause airtight vessel to explode.  

WARNING: This product contains magnets. Placing near a pacemaker may cause interference. 

WARNING: Do not place meat in the cooler without first putting it in a leak-proof container or bag. Wrapping it in butcher paper, foil, or towels alone can put the liner in direct contact with hot, greasy, or moist foods. This contact can severely damage the product and should be avoided.
