I just finished 2 pork butts and have them foiled and in a cooler with towels.  How long can I leave them the cooler until I need to pull?  Would 3-4 hrs be too long? 

Thanks!
 
You should be fine at 3-4 hours. You really don't want it to drop below 140*. All wrapped and in the cooler you should be fine.
 
Nope you should be fine with that time frame.

 I've had them resting in a cooler wrapped in foil & towels for over 5 hours & when I took them out they were still hot enough to burn you. You have some good eatin to look forward to

Thanks for the help on the pork butts.  They turned out great!  No pictures of that but I did snap one of the ribs I put on after the butts.
