Faux Cambro suggestions

[ssandy_561]

Looking for a faux cambro that's not gonna cost me an arm or a leg but also not some cheap plastic bin that won't hold heat.

Something long enough to hold ribs but tall enough for a butt.

Also small enough for easy lifting and transport and not too small where I have to wedge things into it.

Just call me Goldilocks 😊

Thanks

We have one of the igloo/Coleman coolers on wheels. The wheels and handle helps. Plenty of room for the wrap and large meats. Other than that the actual Cambro styles but that's bucks

That sounds like the blue and white Ice Cube that I use. Yes, that fits the bill nicely.

Insulated containers like the pizza delivery guy uses would be an alternative. Sam's also has an inexpensive thickly insulated shopping bag that will hold a relatively small volume, such as you mention.

Good call.

Costco sometimes has something like that too.

A Cooler and a large beach towel to wrap the hunks of meats while in the cooler.

I recommend a trip to Wal-Mart. I have two coolers depending on meat quantity. One for a single hunk and one for 2-3. After that I bust out the Cambro. I would check out at least 2 sizes.

I have one of these and it does a great job.

Hard to beat a $20 cooler for this purpose.

Or else hang on to those Styrofoam containers some frozen steaks come in.

Great Idea! Why didn't I think of that? I already have a few in my garage/

I just use an igloo cooler and a beach towel. I used the Yeti a few times, but then my brothers complained that their beers were smelling like old brisket on our fishing trip, so I had to switch. Hahahaha

I use an Igloo cooler that holds about a case of cans plus ice. Depending on the amount of meat you have it takes more or fewer towels. If you have a really big cook I don't think this would be big enough.

Coolers work great fer me, as well...
I utilize th' (heavy) bath towels that have gone out of regular rotation, here, after then bein' bathroom floor mats fer a spell...
Also, of possible interest:
I also buy (on sale), but cheap everyday, lightweight, cheapy, polar fleece kinda blankets at wally, etc.
Once they've served their time as furniture throws, they work fantastic fer retainin' heat, or cold, fer LONG periods of time, if wrapped around product dilligently,
outside of th' towel(s)
Hope this helps even one person...
Smoke on, y'all!

I just use coolers.

Thanks Omega. That seems like the perfect size.
