I bought a 15 lb full packer and a 7lb pork butt to cook for my sons birthday party. I have a primo XL and set it up at 225 degrees. I trimmed and injected the brisket yesterday evening and it wen on about 8:30 pm. Planning on an hour and a half per pound should have had it done between 1-3 pm ish today. Well at 7:30 am the point was 202 and passed the probe poke test. This one cooked fast! Guests are coming over at 4 today. How long can I keep it in my cooler and should I take it out refrigerate it then reheat it?
Pit stays at 225 on the money with the BBQ guru. I'll post pics later when I have time.
 
It will stay hot in the cooler for several hours, or you can put it in a 170 degree oven & it will stay hot indefinitely.

Just make sure there is some liquid in the foil.
