Reheating Pork Butt

Moisten the pork with Smokinokie's finishing sauce ( HERE )

This will keep the meat from drying out. Now you can:
1. Place meat in a baking pan, top with foil, heat in oven at 275, or
2. Place meat in Zip-Lock Freezer (heavy duty)or Foodsaver bags. Gently re-warm in simmering water. Boiling water may burst the bag.

Funny. I smoked 26 lbs of pork butt for a barbecue the day after my son's wedding. Since we were busy with the rehearsal dinner, followed by the wedding the following evening, I had to smoke and pull the butts 3 days early and reheat.

I did exactly as MaxQue suggests instead we reheated the already pulled pork in a Nesco Roaster. Smokin's Finishing Sauce was key. Kept the pulled pork moist. People raved about the pulled pork...key being the smoke flavoring and the finishing sauce keeping the meat moist IMHO.

Given the choice of Carolina Tangy Sauce, Sweet Baby Rays, and Smokin's sauce to add to their sandwiches, most chose Smokin's and loved it. Of course, I suggested they might enjoy his sauce, but others tried it after hearing the raves from those before them. Some also tried Carolina style sandwiches (Carolina Tangy sauce and cole slaw on the pulled pork) just to try something totally differnet. Enjoyed those too. Sweet Baby Rays was hardly touched.

How much of Smokin's sauce do you usually add to a pork butt before freezing it?

Oh. And if you make Smokin's Finishing sauce, make a triple batch for 25 lbs. You'll use it to moisten/hold the pork, add it while reheating the meat and as a finishing sauce to sandwiches. I had 3 plastic squirt bottles after preparing it (great for applying to sandwiches) and only had 1/2 bottle left after the barbecue. Great stuff. Perfectly compliments the sandwich.

I use enough to make the meat moist but not swimming in the sauce. Add as needed. Very flavorful after thawing.

I have taken a cooked butt and then pulled it, then placed it in a 2 1/2 gal zip lock bag and cooled. I had place the butts in foil to finish, and i took the liquid fron the foil and added it to the bags to keep moist.

To reheat, I have placed it in boiling water. I have used a turkey fryer and a 5 gal aluminum pot. I have done this with meals up to 90 people. Also did with brisket and ad very good results for both.

I reheat the whole butt. After the cook I foil and put into freezer bags (whole). After they cool down I either refridgerate or freeze them.
I found that reheating the whole butt helps retain the moisture.
