Pork Butt HOLD Time After Cooking

jimopMember

Hello, Currently have 2 pork butts totaling 9lbs that are a bit ahead of schedule. Started cook at 10pm last night and predict a finish time between 1:30 and 2pm today. When finish, I will wrap in foil, then towels, then place in a hot ice chest until dinner. QUESTION: How long can I hold these in the ice chest before having to pull and eat. We're hoping for 6pm, but will this be too long?

If the dead spaces in the cooler are filled with waded newspapers, I say they could rest for 8hrs or better with no problem.

Enjoy the evening meal!

Thanks Cal, I will give it a try! I will wrap in towels and pack the newspaper in the dead areas.
