How long should a 2.5 lb pork but rest?

I am in progress on cooking my first pork butt.  I went small, boneless 2.5 lbs. cooking at about 250.  I plan to remove it from the grill when the internal temp is about 190.  I do have a couple questions:

1.  Given how small, how long should it rest?  Does it need to rest for a full hour?

2.  When resting do I need to wrap it and put it in a cooler, or can I just wrap it in foil and let it sit at room temperature?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    No rest needed for pork unless you get done early and have to hold it for a few hours.

    They don't need to rest.
