Smoke Boston Butt -- Ran out of time!

edited December 2011 in EggHead Forum
Thought I had allowed enough time for an overnight cook to finish the smoke (stop at 195 F), but I didn't.  Was at 180 F and simply HAD to leave the house for 6 hours plus (nobody to watch it).  So, I took the meat off the grill, wrapped it in aluminum foil and put it in the fridge until the next day.  Next day is here . . . can I simply put the meat back on the grill (or just in the oven at ~275 F) and cook it up to temp of 195 F and be okay?  Or is my butt in trouble (literally and figuratively)?  Thanks!

    If you just wanted to slice it then you are good to go.

    I cooked 2 butts last nite and the fire shut down again... Even with a 9.5" grille from my mini as a fire grate. So today I cooked it at 300 F but I could bring it to 195 F in time so I sliced it and all my guest were really happy.
