Storing a Boston butt
Posted on 12/10/17 at 7:06 pm

I have a butt on the smoker that probably won’t be done for a while. What is the best way to store it once taking it off? Should I pull it and go straight into the fridge or should I wait for a bit? Thanks.

Wrap in foil and then a towel. Put in a cooler and it will keep for several hours

I don’t want it to keep for several hours. I want to get it put away for the night so I can go to bed. I just don’t want to cool it too slowly or unsafely. I was thinking pulling it and throwing it in the fridge ASAP.

Do you plan on eating it tonight?
I always make 2 when I do them and freeze one. It’s really good if you shred it and put in a vacuum seal bag. All you have to do is drop it in boiling water and heat through.

Not eating tonight. I just want to make sure I don’t do something that will endanger the meat.

I would pull it tonight, while it's still hot. Put in ziplocks, add a little coca-cola, and put it in fridge.

By the book, you should cool it down as fast as possible.

Pull it, put it ziplocks the submerge in ice water?

He got stoned and ate 3 bowls of Cheerios and wants to go to sleep now.

Y'all crazy. I'd pull it, wrap it in a towel and let it rest for an hour or so then break it down and put it in ziplocks in the icebox. The meat is already cooked so the danger of food poisoning is alot lower unless you leave it on the counter for a couple days. Raw meat is where you need to pay attention to temps the most.
Let it rest so the meat can re-absorb all those juices. Then when you bag it, be sure to keep all those board juices in with the meat.

“I have a pot. I also have water. I have the water in the pot, and the pot is on the stove. I’d like to bring the pot of water to a boil. I also have a match. If I light the match and make a fire under the pot, which has water in it mind you, how should I go about getting the water to a boil?
Also, if I get the water to a boil, what are some ways to use boiling water? I’ve never boiled water before, and this is all pretty confusing.
Thanks.”

Interesting. First I hear of that (see bolded part). While I know there's a possibility, I've never heard that it's the most common cause. Went to the CDC website and there's very little on it for some reason. For the record, I did say

which means I recognize the possibility. Believe me, I'm not trying to be an arse here...I just don't buy what you're selling. With all due respect.

What the heck? Are you stalking?
After the fact, but cool it and then put it in the fridge.
