First off, this bag is HUGE. I smoked a 15-pound brisket last weekend and it swallowed it whole with room to spare. The wide mouth design is genius - no more awkwardly stuffing meat into tight spaces.
The magic happens during the resting period. My brisket stayed at perfect temp for 4 hours (yes, I timed it!) while we set up for the party. When I finally sliced into it, juices literally pooled on the cutting board - something that never happened with my old towel-wrap method.
Cleaning is stupid easy. After a messy pork shoulder session, I just flipped it inside out and wiped with a damp cloth. The Tyvek material feels indestructible - like it could survive a nuclear apocalypse along with my BBQ tools.
Only gripe? The first time I used it, I didn't zip it completely and lost some heat. User error, not the bag's fault. Now I double-check the heavy-duty zipper every time.
Tailgating with this is next-level. Last game day, I transported ribs and wings in it - arrived piping hot and got more compliments than my team's terrible playing.
