I have done what you are contemplating multiple times although at a slightly less temperature. Usually pull the butts from the cooker between 165 and 170 degrees and seal in plastic bags essentially cooking further in its own juices. They sit in cooler anywhere from 3 - 5 hours and then we chop, pull and or cut for serving.

It should stay very hot for at least a few hours. You should be OK.** -- reestuart Jan 02, 2023 at 12:26 PM ET

Sharing with his Lounge brethren also not an option, either, it appears.** -- PhotoHokieNC Jan 02, 2023 at 10:43 AM ET
