13 hours to get to 175. Double wrapped in a cooler under some towels. It rested till the football game ( 5 hours) temp had dropped to 144.. popped in the oven still wrapped at 250 until temp came back to 165. (halftime) Unwrapped and served. Fantastic. My buddies loved it. What is a good store bought Carolina dipping sauce ?Would like to try store bought before making my own to see if the time is worth the effort.
