Butt cooked quick - need suggestion

Getting ready to pull a butt off and it is only 8:30AM. What do you do with a butt that is done, but you aren't ready to eat yet? Just wrap in foil and pull it when ready to eat?[p]Happy New Years[p]Kelvin

    GreggsEgg,
    Well, if your pork is for dinner, I would rest the meat untill its cooled down and then simply refrigerate in a plastic bag. Then reheat in the egg or oven using a pan covered with aluminum foil. Use your remote temp. gauge so you don't over heat. I don't like the thought of meat sitting around for hours unrefrigerated. [p]Happy New Year,

    Clay Q,[p]I've got sort of the same problem.I started a pork tenderloin at 8:30 and I just took it off. The internal of the loin was 145 degrees. Don't you think it will be OK wrapped up in foil, in towels, in a cooler? We'll have it for lunch. I prefer to try and keep it warm instead of refrigeration and re-heating. Any comments?[p]Thanks,[p]Jimbo[p]

    JimboBQ,
    It's your call. Mom always used the frig to store meat and well- so do I. Pork tenderloin, that's tricky to reheat, unlike butt. Hummmmm, might try reheating with a sauce so meat will not dry out- be real gentle with heat.
    Serve warm- doesn't need to be hot. [p]Clay Q[p]

    Clay Q,[p]I wrapped it in 2 layers of foil, 2 bath towels and put that in a styrofoam cooler. It stayed very warm for about 2.5 hours. We even used the juices that had collected in the foil. Yum, Yum![p]Jimbo[p]

    GreggsEgg,
    Thanks. I ended up keeping it on the egg a while longer by getting the temp down a little. Only sat about 5 hours before pulling. Still very warm.
