Pulled Pork

[Kevinbthgrouse]

Going to attempt pulled pork this weekend ..It works best for me to do the day before or should I try to finish it the day of...If I smoke it the day before what is the best process to warm it up?

I wrap the pp in foil the place in the oven at 200* and let it come up to temp slowly. It’s takes a couple hours, but tastes as good as the day it was pulled.

When doing mine for big dinners or gatherings it’s always the day before. I always do a pan of broth under my pork when smoking. I use pork or chicken broth and let that meat and Smokey goodness turn it to golden delight. I pull the meat when ready and put in frig overnight. The juice goes in the frig to defat the next morning. For hearing I put it in a toaster pan (or crock pot is smaller amount) and mix in some of that golden Smokey broth. It’s money!!

I always try to do it the day before since it usually is a long process. And there are lots of awesome ways to heat the next day. I usually do some sauce in a crockpot but you could do sous vide or use the suggestions above.

Especially with long smokes I love the meal more the second day anyway. Not smoked out!

If I finish late in the evening or early morning would it be ok to leave in cooler wrapped up and pull later??
