Is it possible to "parr" cook pork butts say today, maybe cook to 160 foil and let cool on the counter, then refigeriate.

And then finish tomorrow, cooking to 190-200 ish, the let rest in a cooler as usual and pull?

Any info appreciated.

Thankd

I would skip the 'par' part of this plan and fully cook at once, pull, cool, refrigerate and then moisten with sauce, broth or juice tomorrow and reheat.

You answered my question.

I don't have the time to do the full cook today. I believe what you are saying is correct, and will just have to do the whole thing tomorrow. I'll just get up a little earlier, (before breakfast), tomorrow.

At my age, I'm just happy to be able to get up anytime either, before or after breakfast.

Thanks

Thanks I don't have the 5 hrs plus time starting the fire, and letting the butt rest in the foil before pulling, and then packaging it.

I'm cooking (2) 6 lb. butts and will have alot of leftovers for freezing.

I'll spent some time this afternoon preparing for the smoke tomorrow.

Thanks guys

John, would an overnight cook work better your time constraints? If so load up the cooker around 8pm and everything should be settled in NLT 10pm and you can get a good night sleep and wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and BBQ on a beautiful fall morning!!

Hey John, do what I do. I wake up and wave my arms. If I don't hit wood I'm good.
Have a good butt smoke.

You know, I just might try an overnight cook, never did one. I have to go somewhere with the family this afternoon/early evening, depending on how things go, I might give it a try.

I'll give the Arm waving thing a try. Ha Ha !!

Thanks
