Will foiling decrease butt cooking time?

I have a 7.5# butt on the egg. It has been going for 12 hours at 250 and is 179 degrees now. I need to leave with the butt in 2 hours and then it will be foiled for 2 hours. Should I foil, increase temp or both?

I am not sure if foiling will help at this point but being stuck in this position before what whiz has said will work. I just open her up and let the temp increase. I even let if get to 400 to finish it off with no damage to the butt.

10-4. I have increased the temp to 300. What is the lowest temp I can remove the Butt and expect it will pull well?
-
I would foil and bump yoru temp slightly. You will retain some additional juices in the foil that you can toss into the meat after you pull it.

I'd say you are close to pullable now. Give it 2 hours at 300 and you should be fine when you try to pull it 2 hours after that. If not, sliced port sandwiches!

I'd foil it right now.
