Welcome to the SMF!

Took so long partly because you dropped it to fridge temps.  You probably weren't more that about 2 hours from finishing during the first round.  I've had butts and briskets take that long.  Once the meat gets to about 170* it moves off of the stall and climbs pretty quickly from there.

How did it shred after cooling and finishing the next day?
