The butt I have on the smoker is for this weekend. Should I pull it tonight and put it in bags or leave it whole and pull it then? From what I have read I would assume do it tonight after it comes off and rests?
I have done it both ways... I prefer to slice it thick and thaw what I need in the oven at about 400. Thawed some today that way and it was still mighty fine.
Pull it tonight and bag it with the juice.
Slice?
As others have said, if you have a foodsaver or other vacuum type sealer, that is a great way to reheat any BBQ. For pork, I just pull/chop everything then vacuum pack them in 1-2 lb. bags, some in the freezer some in the fridge. To reheat, just simmer in water that has been brought to a boil for 20-30 minutes.
The only down-side is you loose a little crispness on the bark since it basically steams itself in the bag. The upside is you get meat that is probably more moist than when you pulled it off the smoker.

I agree, sometimes, I pull it and mix it with some homemade bbq sauce and vacuum seal it.As others have said, if you have a foodsaver or other vacuum type sealer, that is a great way to reheat any BBQ.
