Well my boys surprised me with a Yeti 35 cooler today...  I already have and love the 20 & 30 Oz tumblers and the colster.  I am sure i will love the cooler as well.

    Is it large enough to hold a 10-12 lb brisket?

    I use a 65, it works out great for me. 10-12 lb after cook or before cook?

    After cook FTC. Possibly a 14 - 15 lbs initial weight but I estimate I would trim 1-2 lbs of fat before cooking.

    Great cooler and great size, very usable in many situations including resting smoked meat.

    I have the 65 and the 20 (RTIC).  Both are great coolers.  Last two weekends Ive used the 65 and even with lots of open and closed only used 1/2 the ice I put in them over a 36 hour period.

    Not that I’m looking to save anybody money around here but these Colman party stacker coolers are @ $25. And work great.

    Just ordered the Yeti 35. Should be big enough for FTC and more beer that I can consume in one sitting, LOL

    The Yeti was SWMBO approved and my Stepson allowed me to use his VIP discount so I jumped at the opportunity. LOL

    Hey, there's no real comparison. The Yeti is a whole other beast. If you decide to not mess up your yeti with BBQ juices and odor, try these cheapos. These stacker coolers are just cheap and convenient. I have several and don't care if they get messed up a bit. You could buy one of these without being picked up on the radar.  =)

    @p@pgprescott

    Those stackable coolers are really freaking cool.    The one, and only, BBQ competition I entered with a few guys we used quite a few of them.    They worked out amazingly--and to your point, were cheap.

    Having said that, we did keep the adult beverages in the Yetis.

    Of course, valuables in the Yeti and consumables in the Coleman. Makes perfect sense to me. 👍🏻

    Had a 45 Seafoam green last summer, but it was so damn heavy when I filled it with beer & ice, it took 2 people to lift it.  Sold it, and bought a Coleman marine cooler ($50). Much lighter, and holds ice for 3 days.  Yeti did 4 days, but we only really used it for weekend camping!

    Makes sense to get a stackable for FTC as well. Now that we are in AZ the Yeti get plenty of use.

    Added another Yeti to the stable.    I have the original version of this but this version is much improved with the big opening and magnetic closure.

    Nice!  I have the old style with the wetsuit zipper from hell on it.  The new ones look very much improved.

    Yes sir that’s the same one I have too.   I nicknamed that zipper the Devil’s V@gina

    I don’t know guys the big one I have with the magnet closure is like a bear trap. It takes three hands to operate.

    WHAT?  They sell the Coleman marine cooler for $50 bones?  The one I bought was $65,000 and was attached to our Regal 2400...Damn!

    Hahaha the magnets are strong.  I’m off for a hunt next week and will take it and run through the paces then.  I don’t have a 3rd hand so this could be interesting.

    I plan to cut a stick swmbo can use to prop it open. It would be nice to air it out after use sometimes

    That’s a classic scene from Breaking Bad where giant magnets were used.   It’s funny if you’re familiar with the show, probably less so if you aren’t.
