I seem to run into this problem often. I'll smoke two pieces of meat. I'll be able to eat one and have some idea of eating the other the next day. I typically go from the Bradley with pork butt or beef into the warm cooler to let it finish. I'm not sure on the taste, but how long is it safe to eat such meat from after it is cooked? The butt I have now is about 36 hours past cooking and the meat has gone to room temp. Is it still good to eat? I could put it in the fridge, put pork just seems to all bad on the taste and dryness after being refrigerated after it is cooked. Thanks for any tips!
If the meat has not been refrigerated and only been in a cooler for 36 hours, I wouldn't eat it and I was trained to eat things that make a billy goat puke.

If this is a problem then vacuum pack your pork, before you place in frig, in pouches that can be dropped into boiling water... end of problem.
