Question about keeping ribs warm.

[ptjd]

Not sure this is the correct forum, I have just finished a rack of ribs with some chicken and a fattie. I use an electric smoker with digital temp adjustment, we are not planning to eat for another 2 hours or so, can I just lower the temp in the smoker to around 140 -150 to keep the food warm or will it dry out. If so how do you all keep the meats warm?
Thanks

Foil 'em, and wrap in a big towel, place in a cooler. You can preheat the cooler by pouring in some HOT water and let it sit a few.

On edit... you can then place in a 250 oven IN THE FOIL if they ain't hot enuff 15 min before serving

RichTee has it going on. Foil is good for heat retention.

Last time I did up some racks I had quite a few hours to go until we ate. I also had to tranport them. I let them rest in a cooler exactly how was explained above, then cut them and placed them in the fridge when the temp came down. When we got to our destination, I placed them in a foil pan and threw them on the grill on a low-medium heat. We were having bbq sauce with the ribs, so I placed some sauce over the ribs and they came out just a juicy as eating them right away. Don't know if this is the correct way to do it or not, but it worked for me.
