Pork Butt Help

[GR8ONE68]

FNG here. This is my first post. I just finished my first Boston Butt, 10.5 lbs. I put it on at 10:00 last night @200 degrees. I put it in an aluminum roasting pan and covered it at 6:00 this morning @ an IT of 160 degrees and increased the smoker temp to 225 degrees. I pulled it off at 9:40 this morning @ an IT of 203 degrees. I was shooting for it to be done around noon or 1:00. We're taking it to a friend's house today to watch the Raven's game. I know it has to sit for 1 hour before I pull it apart and can easily go 2 hours. The problem is that we are not leaving for about 4.5 hours. When should I pull it apart and what should I do with it for the extra time?

I usually unwrap for 15 or 20 minutes to vent and then cover in foil again and put it in the oven at the lowest setting(In my case 170)to rest. Where your internal temp was 203 and the oven is at 170 it will not keep cooking. It will just hold it at a food safe temperature until you are ready to go. Leave it whole while it is resting in the oven and pull it at the last minute. Hope this helps you out.I copied my response from your other post just in case.
