Unless I'm FTCing to hold, mine sit about an hour wrapped in foil before pulling

Resting is not necessary for butts. Unless it's done before dinner time.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Foil Towel Cooler. This will hold butts and brisket for hours until it's time to eat
