Absolutely. Just wrap them up in a few layers of HD foil, and stick them in a cooler and use kitchen towels to take up the empty airspace and the butts will stay warm for many hours. Kind of depends a bit on how big they are and how well the cooler keeps heat. If you want, you can pre-warm the cooler by filling it with hot tap water and throwing the towels in the clothes dryer on high for a few minutes.

Probably want to put a few folded towels down under the butts or the heat could warp the cooler liner.
Both cuts were about 15.5 # total. They're on the bottom rack and the smoker for the most part has held in the 230 range give or take a little. Probably will flip them over at the 4 hour mark.

Thanks for cooler warming suggestions! It's a 28 qt Coleman my wife just got so it's about perfect size to throw in a couple of butts and a loin.
