Pork butt got done early

I was planning for my pork butt to be done closer to 3pm, but the BGE got a little warmer than intended over night. My thought is once the butt is done, i'll cap off and close the draft door on the BGE to keep it warm for the few hours that the BGE takes to cool down. Am I at risk of drying out my pork?
My other thought was to take it off and cool the pork down, than stick it in the oven at 225 for 30 minutes before serving to heat it back up?
Thoughts?

Double wrap on foil, wrap in warm towels, stick in a cooler. You can prewarmed the cooler by filling with hot water and emptying it out. It'll still be piping hot for hours.
Or you can wrap and stick in oven around 170. Either way. -
^^ What @theyolksonyou said. FTC (Foil Towel Cooler) will keep it hot for quite some time.

I prefer FTC with pork for 3-5 hrs. You'll be just fine.A bison’s level of aggressiveness, both physical and passive, is legendary. - NPS

I've FTC'd for 7 hours in a cheap cooler and the butts we're in the 160°ish range when pulled.Steven

+1 on FTC, I actually think it improves a pork butt to rest for several hoursLBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.
