I've rested mine like a brisket; Wrapped in butcher paper, into a cooler, and fill the cooler with towels. I had mine resting like this for over 2 hours and the meat was still warm when I served it.
If they're wrapped when you pull them, you'll want to unwrap them briefly or cut a hole in the top of the wrap before you rewrap and rest in a cooler. If you don't, the unescaped steam will steam the bark and cook the meat past the point you were looking for. 10, 15 minute vent before re-wrapping and sticking in cooler is fine.
Gotcha. In that case I'd still potentially give them a few minutes. Sometimes when you pull your temp will still creep up a bit, don't wrap until it has either stopped climbing or even dropped a degree to two.
Absolutely! I learned the hard way a few briskets back lol. Bark came out soggy and a buddy told me why.
Cooked two beef plates yesterday myself, for the first time. Came out amazing.

Ive done brisket in tinfoil, wrapped in one towel in a cooler and its been good for 2 hours...
Vent them first before you wrap them and stick them in a cooler. If you don't your awesome bark is going to get mushy.
What do you mean vent them? I'm not familiar with this term. Do you mean open the vent on my smoker?

Ok I see what you mean, I'm not wrapping at all while cooking, just when I pull them off

Good to know, thank you for the tip!
