When doing a long FTC on Brisket or Pork Shoulder do you need to monitor the IT of the meat to make sure it does not drop below a certain temp. Or do you not need to worry about that because it has already been cooked?
You want to make sure the IT dosent get below 140 F
Thats when the nasties will start to gorw.
I keep the meat around 150 F if its gonna be a loooong time before I pull it out.
If you got a good cooler and plenty of towels around your meat it should hold above the danger zone 4 or 5 hr.

Do you leave the thermometer in the meat then when FTCing so you can monitor, or does that let you the heat?
I just lay a probe on the meat after its wrapped and before the towel
I'd monitor it the first time you do it.
But... I've put four butts in a Igloo "ultra" cooler for up to 8 hours and the IT was still 170F+, so I don't bother to monitor it any more.

But only 1 butt in that cooler will not hold the heat as long. ;)

True. but it's still a
while.
I take my butts to 195-200 and then FTC for 4 hrs, they are still so hot you can't pull them with nitrile gloves, I'd say you're safe if put in double foil and rolled up in a towel for the cooler.

I'm with you. I have placed butts and brisket in a cooler for up to 6 hours and still piping hot when I pull them out.
Just did a pork shoulder and took it to 190 after 4 1/2 hours FTC the IT was 144.

Soooo... If I FTC a raw penguin, and anchor it with a horseshoe, will it be done by the time I get all the footballs in the doghouse?
