FTC...how long?

Realistically, how long can I hold a 8.25 pound pork butt in the FTC setup? My cooler is nothing special.
I'm running out of steam for the day. This butt has taken longer than expected. I don't want to be pulling it at 9:00 tonight. Can I hold it safely FTC until morning?
The other option would be to chill it whole and pull it tomorrow, or later.
Any recommendations?

I would say in the average cooler 3 hours max. That's just me. Others will chime in I'm sure. If it was mine I would either pull it tonight or put the whole thing in the ice box for the night.Go Gamecocks!!!

Here's a link to a thread I did to address your situation:
Foil Towels and Cooler (FTC) for extended duration Regardless of where you land-pull before you give up on the FTC. Then warm the next day.
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
