My first question is why not freeze? Here's a post you might want to consider depending on when you'll smoke.

As for length of time in the fridge, I'd be ok with 4 days, but if you're going to keep it in there that long, you might as well...
You just got me all excited about...well, goin' into my freezer. Dang, look at all the stuff here. Chicken, t-bone, 5lbs of Mahi (caught fresh from Marathon Key) and what's this??? Something called Edamame. Soy beans? Has anyone smoked any soy beans before. HA!
Dave, thanks for the freezer...
Cowgirl, I've been watching the way this forum reacts to your posts and q-view. All i can say is BE CAREFUL. You're gonna find one morning you've got 600 guys sleeping in your front yard waiting for some of that Q.
Very creative as always, Cowgirl.
I just did this a couple of weeks ago and, as Richtee had said, they're not the same. Unfortunately, they don't taste nearly as full as they do right off the smoker. Here's the yang of that ying, your munchers will never know as they are still VERY good after a reheat.
For reheating I kept them...
Krusher, thighs are my favorite! You'll find after 3 or so hours most of the fat renders off and all that's left is lip-smacking smoked chicken. I'm with Ronp on the brine too. Gotta brine.
Not only is it a better mousetrap, but it's got moving parts that I haven't seen before. Very nice. And definitely looks like the shrinkage on the butt is off. That spreadsheet has it at 45%.
Thanks for sharing.
You should check out Jeff's rub (moderator of this site).

Not only is it the best (and can be adjusted to your specs above) but you help keep this site up and running for all of us. Good luck!
So I've got my first catering job, cooking for my neighborhood July 4th party. 120 adults/80 kids. I put this excel doc together to help me figure it all out. Here are the details (step-by-step is on the spreadsheet)
1. Accounts for 3 different meats and two types of ppl (adults/kids)
2. You...
I just checked out the link from Sweet Intense and he's not asking for advice, rather he's advertising. He's a chef in NY who wants to sell off site catering. Dang, and I thought he wanted some help.
I agree with Gridiron. I've never used anything but the moisture in the meat. I actually rub the night before and wrap in plastic. By the morning, it'll be nice and sticky. Throw some more rub on before you put on Q.
Funny you should mention that, as I just signed on to to my first event. I'm cooking for our neighborhood July 4th picnic: 120 adults/80 kids. Luckily, I'm in the convention hotel business so I have access to some outstanding chef's who are helping me calculate lbs, etc. If you've got some...
One more thing...if you can, fire up the sauce outside on another burner. That vinegar takes a life of its own, turning your house into a really bad salad.
Vlap, never has the phrase "a picture says a 1000 words" been more appropriate. In fact, my stomach is still talking about it.
My big take away (besides the recipes-thx for that) was the basket. Man that's just what I've been looking for.
