What’s the difference in foiling vs placing the wrapped meat in a closed ice chest to rest for hours?

Both processes gonna steam, correct?

It comes down to volume though. I wrap in butcher paper and put 2 towels on the bottom and two over the top for at least 4 hours. The steam can escape a bit through the towels and we seem to keep a nice bark better. Iv'e done dozens this way and only muffed two. Both were from over indulging in the fire water. At least that's the excuse I'm using.

The steaming is on the pit in foil.

When using paper to wrap and rest it allows a bit of breating but the temp in the ice chest or whatever you use should be nowhere near the steam point.

I have even wrapped in butcher paper the last few hours on the pit and it turned out great and still had a nice bark which is near impossible with foil unless you keep temps under º212.

It is just physics
