Getting ready to throw my first pork butt on!!

Gonna throw an 8# butt on for tomorrow. I figure it should be done by 2 tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck. Pictures to follow.
 
Good Luck,  I am doing the same.

Well 12 hours later and 197 IT. Don't think this butt realy hit a stall. 1 question here. I'm gonna pull it soon. How long should I leave it in the foil wrapped in a towel  in the cooler? I figure I'll pull it out of the smoker at 9, do you think 3 hours is too long in the cooler. Wasn't planning to eat until around 3 this afternoon. So any reheating tips will be great.

Thank in advance

Leave it in the cooler...will still be hot to touch at that time.  Wrap it nice and cozy with some old towels....and pull it before serving it what I do.  Good Luck!
 
If you have it insulated well with towels in a cooler it should be fine for 3 hours.
 
Well.... one time I smoked two butts to an IT of 205°F, as always. Double wrapped in heavy duty foil and insulated them with a bunch of old towels on all sides inside the cooler and closed the lid. Went to see Mom and kind of forgot about the butts..... at least three hours went by before I got home. When I took them out of the cooler they were still hot.
 
Great minds must think alike...I have one going now

Nothing like building a snowman in flurries while smelling hickory and apple wood smoke...

 I was hoping it wasn't going to take you to 2PM.   3 Hours in a cooler should be fine wrapped in foil and towels.

Pork butt overnight on Pit Boss 820 XL - only 153 deg after 10 hours at 200 F. Should I be concerned that it was <140F for hours?
