taste test results

I will keep this post short, because I have a habit of getting a little long winded. So, most everyone liked the spicey pulled pork, and a few requested that I make it more spicier. But, I had a big problem. I started the butts at 5:00pm sat. and pulled them of 3:00am sunday, foiled them and into the fridge they went. Reheated whole, shreaded and went back into the oven to get them hot( mistake ) the oven dried up all my hard work. So I thought about pulling and shreading in the morning and putting everything in the crock pot to keep warm with some drippings and a little finishing sauce. What do yall' think do you know of a better plan, lets have it if you do, as usual all thoughts and ideas are welcomed and apprieciated.

krazy.....not sure whan serving time was, but you can pull those butts at 195, double wrap in foil, and put in a small empty ice chest. I've held butts in an ice chest for 7 hrs. before and only lost 25 degrees of temp. Next time adjust your start time accordingly, forget the fridge and reheat, and you'll have much better results, IMHO.

Krazy...definitely go with wrapping your meat in foil and then putting it into a cooler if you finish early. I was skeptical that it would work a few months ago and was absolutely shocked at how well & how long the temperature held.
