Most any meat you smoke can be re-heated the next day. I just did a cater for 20 people where I cooked it all the day before, delivered it that morning and they heated it in the oven for 4 hrs. at 180° - everything came out great!

Pulled pork - cook the day before, rest it for 2 hrs. then pull it. To re-heat the next day place in a covered disposable foil pan with some apple juice to keep it moist.

Brisket - cook the day before, rest for 2 hrs. then put whole in the fridge. Re-heat whole wrapped in foil (or a covered pan), slice, and serve with the heated drippings.

Chicken - cook day before, stack in layers in a foil pan - brush each layer with a thin coating of BBQ sauce, cover with foil. When re-heating the BBQ sauce helps keep it all nice and moist.

Ribs - cook, wrap in foil with a little BBQ sauce. Same as the chicken, sauce adds moisture during re-heat.

Those are just off the top of my head, you can basically re-heat everything for the most part.

I think I interfered with JIRodriguez' answer to your post; it was here then disappeared; I snagged it and put it back on here and second all his great advice!
