Mornin' Michele,
If you double wrap each butt when they're done and then store them together in a dry cooler, they'll hold easily for 4 to 6 hours. For 2 butts, I use one of those Coleman Personal coolers and 2 fit very well in there but if you have another smaller cooler, you can wrap the 2 butts, keeping them together, in towels, which will serve as insulation holding the heat in. If all else fails, you can hold in your oven as long as it's above 140º. Just don't raise the temp too high and start cooking it further. Personally, I think your timing looks pretty good for today.
Good Luck and GO GIANTS !!!

Michele, at 166 if you are doing pulled pork you still have a long ways to go, 195-200 is the temp you want when you go to pull. How heavy of a butt did you use? Also was it bone in or boneless? At 180 you can back down on the smoker if you think they will be done to early. Also I great trick is to wrap the butts in foil and place them in a cooler wrapped in a towel. This will keep the butts hot for up to 4 hrs. It also gives the meat a chance to rest. I always put my butts in the cooler for at least two hrs.
