F=Foil
T=Towel(s)
C=Cooler
Wrap the cooked food in foil, wrap the foil wrapped food in towel(s), place the towel wrapped foil wrapped food in a cooler (preferably warmed), and let it be for a while.
If you want to, you can add apple juice or other liquids to sort of steam the food while it's resting in the "sauna". :D

Welcome Floridasmoker, hope to see you around here regularly. :)
thank you all for the info....
so how long do i let them stay in the cooler?
do they go back to the OBS?
or the oven?
thanks,
At least an hour...I usually let it go as long as I can stand it. Personal best so far is 3 hours. Meat will still be warm enough to eat when unwrapped, so shouldn't have to put it back in smoker or oven.
My last butt spent 4 hours FTC and was still too hot to handle with bare hands.
Welcome Floridasmoker,
I solved Tiny Tim's problem and beat the Wildcat by FTCing both the flat and point of a whole packer brisket. Last Thanksgiving, the ribbs and brisket went in to the cooler (warmer) at 11:00 AM, flat and ribs came out for serving at 1 PM and the point came out at 5:30 PM for sandwiches, still very warm and tasty. Some of that turkey was eaten along the way as well but I think my sister had a lot left over.
