Honestly I'm not sure if wrapping it did anything. It about broke in half when I was taking it off the grill. The only reason I wrapped it was to keep it hot until everything else was ready to go. Either way, wrapping or not, it would have been pretty good! Thanks!
"stuck in a cooler for 2 hours. It stayed plenty hot and pulled apart incredibly easy. "
Looks great......personally, I think wrapping changes the whole deal.....for the better......and a certain amount of resting, wrapped......give it a short breather to stop the cooking or slow it considerably, then seal up.........
gives the piece a chance to level & absorb the moisture all thru evenly......
people "rest" turkeys from the oven, steaks, even done in a broiler or pan, roasts.....all kinds of recipes call for at least a short rest after cooking....why not this that you've put so much time into to get to come out well ....?
As far as it falling apart trying to move it....try a decent, thick, medium size towel, wrapped around, using a hand on either side......
I've done this for years, along with using a serrated bread knife for almost everything......
Thought I was just a daffy goofball.....until I saw that Aaron Franklin did both of those things religiously.....felt slightly vindicated......
or if it's really coming apart, just roll it onto a piece of foil right on the grate........
