Another dumb ? from me, what does FTC mean when doing the butts and briskets, I tried search but can't eve3n get that one to work, really feeling dumb in Dakota!
Search on "Foil Towel Cooler".
That got me a "No Results Found"
"FTC" = Foil Towel Cooler. When the meat is at the desired IT (or a couple degrees below), we generally wrap it in foil with maybe a splash of liquid, then a towel, and put it in a (room temperature) cooler or other insulated container for at least an hour. This allows the meat to rest and redistribute/recover some moisture as well as keeping it warm until serving.
When your done smoking/cooking.
Foil wrap the meat.
Then wrap with Towl.
Then place in Cooler to let it rest.
It will stay hot for a loooong time that way and also let the juices soak back into the meat.
Thanks Folks!

Didn't we have a list of acronyms and abbreviations around here somewhere? I seem to remember having seen it but can't remember where (not unusual for me).
