Hi everyone
I have a pork butt on the Traeger, with plans for pulled pork for dinner this evening. A few questions I could use help on:
IT is around 168* right now, and I want to eat at 4:30 PM. I assume I’ll stall out soon, but I expect to still finish early. How long can the butt rest either on the counter or in a cooler, before serving? If it’s done say two hours early, would I need to put it in the fridge and then reheat?
If it has to rest for a couple of hours or even go in the fridge to reheat, should I pull before serving? Or pull before going in the fridge?
I usually only have about an hour from pullling off the smoker and serving, so an hour rest is common. But, I suspect this one may finish earlier than I was expecting. Thanks!
