I did a pork butt over night and to my surprise, when i got up this morning and checked the temp of the pork, it was already at 210. Cooked much faster than I thought. What is the best way to keep it for a 6 oclock dinner. Wrap it in foil and then reheat it later?

I'm curious to a response on this as well... I'm in a similar situation (temps)

That sounds too long to me to keep. If it were mine and looking for pulled pork, I would pull, refridgerate and re-heat. PP always re-heats nicely for us. Also I always plan on 2 hrs per lb @250 dome, usually done a little early but can keep wrapped in foil, towels and put in cooler for up to 4-5 hrs. Good Luck!

I logged on to ask the same question. Did my 9th pulled pork. 7.45lb and put it on last night at midnight and kept at 230*. And its done. I expetedt it to be done around 1-2pm. So I will be waiting for others to weigh in. I have it in foil and wrapped in a beach towel in an insulated cooler. THis is the first time I had one cook so fast and I did nothing different.

I did read some earlier post and decided that 8 hrs was way too long to try and keep it warm. I decided to pull it, and refrigerate. I am going to reheat it at 180 in the oven with some Dr. Pepper poured over top. That was suggested by another egger. I will repost the results after dinner, but am curious if anyone else has tried the dr pepper or coke method
-
I would recommend reheating it with some BBQ sauce thinned with water and a fresh sprinkling of rub, unless you are sure of the Dr. Pepper or Coke thing.
Some people swear by it, others don't like it. I'm in the latter camp. -
I ended up pulling pork and putting in refrig. I reheated it at 180 in the oven for about 2 hours and it was good. I did thin some bbq sauce with water and mixed it in to the pork. However, at such a low heat, you probably dont need to cut the sauce with water, just use straight sauce. Ended up really good.
