Default refrigerate meat?

I smoked two butts the other day. Went in about 5pm and pulled out at
around 2am after hitting 198*
I put it in an insulated bag and left it outside. By 10am it was
still warm and served for lunch.
Should I have put it in the refrig. when I took it out? Any danger of
bad little critters forming? I figured 198 would just have killed any
bacteria, so why refrig. right away?
