My mistake doesn't need to be yours

I did a butt last night on my medium, and did OK, but only because I was here when the fire went out this morning (about out of lump). Refired everything and it finished out well (meat temp never below 180). BUT, I was taking the butt to a coworker, so I heated a brick to 400 deg. in the oven and put it on top of towels in a foam cooler, with more towels and the meat on top of that. It came very close to melting through the foam, and almost ruined my car seat with melted foam before I knew what was happening.
SO---400 is too hot for a brick in a cheap foam cooler, even on towels. All ended well, but only because I was lucky. I don't know how hot it will stand, but my feeling is not very hot.
Barbecuer emptor.
