Sorry for the dumb questions, but I'm going to smoke a butt tomorrow all day, but we want to eat it Saturday. I've smoked quite a few butts before, but always eat them the same day, so this is new for me.
What are the best choices for:
- After smoking; pull it or keep it whole to refrigerate? (I assume pull, but would like your all's opinions/advice)
- Does it need to be completely cooled down before refrigerating?
- Tips on storing for the 24 hours (with sauce vs without sauce, vac seal vs container)?
- Best way to reheat it out of the fridge about 24 hours after finishing (vac bag in hot water, in a pan with sauce)?
- Not sure if we'll do sammies, or nachos, or topping for baked potatoes, or grilled pizza. Does it make a difference on how to store it, depending on what the meal will be?
Thanks for any advice you all can share; I get almost all of my inspiration here!
