Making it the night before and then warming up in a foil pan on the pit. My question is after I pull it Friday night, should I wait to sauce it until Saturday when warming it up? Any other suggestions?

I don't sauce. I let people add their own.

Wait to sauce it but I also wouldn't pull it until then.

I use the North Carolina vinegar sauce. It really cuts a bit of the richness and works very well.

I did these Friday to bring dove hunting Saturday. Wrapped in foil and put in ice chest. I have a big Hamilton Beech roaster I plugged in and put on low then put these in with a bit of water to just keep the moisture in and keep from burning. About half cup. When we got ready I pulled, tossed with a bit of vinegar sauce and served on buns with a couple of BBQ sauces on the side and coleslaw on the bun. They stay moist if you don't pull them until about ready.

No sauce. The smoke and dry rub should carry the day.

If people need sauce on pulled pork, give them several choices... sweet, spicy, vinegar base, mustard base, etc.

Here's a hint - hit it with some vinegar based hot sauce before serving (Carolina whole hog style if you want to impress your friends.) Perfect for a BBQ sandwich on a white bun.

Who sauces pulled pork for people? Let them decide if they want sauce on it or not. It's great both ways.

Has anyone said not to sauce it yet? Because that's what should be done.

Personally, I wouldn't pull it Friday night and do this...Pull from smoker and double wrap the butt(s) in heavy duty foil. Place a towel in an igloo, place butt in and cover with another towel and let sit for and hour. Pull butt out of cooler and let it cool off and put in fridge overnight. Saturday place the butt on your pit with foil still on and reheat it then pull it.

I do this three or 4 times a year with 4 butts per cook at a time and my crew of 20-25 are never disappointed. I've never been a fan of reheating the pork after its been pulled as it can dry out but it might be a personal preference. Good Luck!

What if you smoking the day before serving?

For example, smoking on Friday to take to lunch somewhere on Saturday? I planned to smoke and pull Friday, and place meat in tightly wrapped foil pan, and reheat on Saturday

He was smoking the day before. He's reheating it and pulling it the day of.

It's pork, it will still be great :). The minute you pull it will start to lose a little moisture naturally it's the nature of the beast, but if you wrap it immediately it will be fine. Once a year I do this for vacation the weekend before we leave and I freeze the butts in the foil and reheat the following weekend, they pull great and once pulled roll all the pork in the juices at the bottom of the foil OMG /drool
