So, I'm kind of in a predicament here. I'm cooking 2 eight pound butts for some friends. Was planning on having them done around 8:00 AM tomorrow morning(sat), letting them rest a couple hours, then pulling them at 10:00 AM and start serving right after.
Well, I wanted give myself 16 hours for them to cook. Figured they would probably be done around 12 hours, but thought a couple extra hours in a cooler with towels would be fine. Started them at 4:00 PM earlier today (friday).
Fast forward 8 hours to now (12:00 AM) and these things are practically done!! So now I have 2 butts that are fully cooked and don't need to be pulled for another 10 hours!
What's going to be the best thing to do with these to keep them good? I don't want to keep them in the smoker and overcook them, but I also feel by the time they cool down and I put them in the fridge it will be time to take them back out and reheat!
Thanks for looking fellas! Sorry about the long post, just kind of panicked when I stuck the probe in there and they were almost done!
