I am going to be doing (6) pork butts in a few weeks and getting the planning underway. I have done these before, but always done cooking the day of eating.

Party is on a Saturday at 4PM. I would like to cook Thursday afternoon on my GOSM gasser with supplimental smoke from Big Kahuna until 140F and then pull and put in my ceramic Primo Oval XL w/ CyberQ running for the overnight. Reasoning - more and better controlled smoke on GOSM/Kahuna. and More controll on temp/longevity on Primo.

First - any problems with my approach?

Second - Say pork is done Friday morning. What is the appropriate way to handle/store until party? and what would best reheat option be? Electric roaster or ??

Thanks for the help!

just a suggestion...

Ask a local Brethren brother who will drive to BBQ ...
... and will smoke thru Friday-Saturday with the butts.
... willing to bring the gear to fully back you up.
... chafing dishes will be brought.

No problem with doing Pork ahead of time. Easiest way to do it is cook ahead and pull(shred) when done, place into the Fridge, then into a crockpot and set on low for 2-3 hrs. Should be done and no getting upset-yes a roesting pan will do.....:thumb:Will hold in fridge for up to 3 days of cooking(counting the day). I justSat. morn. with 2-Butts and 9-Ribs done on Friday and in the fridge. Then as I did the 40# of BrirLeg 1/4s, and 6 Fatties , Saturday morn.,I re-heated the other meat in my slow end of my smoker-all ready on time at 2pm. wrapped in a foil-lined cooler and to the party.Waiting on the thanks and job-well-dones.LOL.:p
Did it all "sans sauce", my meat is going to sell the taste,sauce on the side.
Hope this helps and,
