Yeah, I have done the same my concern is that I am driving 1.5 hours to deliver (and cut there) the food. The brisket seems to be about done, yet the pork butts are hanging at 175, so I did not want the brisket sitting, and waiting too long for the butts.
I guess to better state my question, is that I feel as though they will be ready to go about 11AM, this party is at 6PM. I plan to put in the cooler, and pull, and cut about 2:30PM. Can this stay in foil pans until 6PM and be as tasty?
