Good day. I had two pork butts on my pellet smoker yesterday and had to take them off at 168" as I ran out of time. I placed them in the fridge. I have tried to find some information on if I can wrap and reheat in the oven to 203" Any guidance/advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

No worries. You should be good to go. They could keep several days in the refrigerator before reheating to finish or could even be frozen to reheat later. Also could be cut up to go into chili or pozole if you'd rather go that direction. -
Yes you can, but I'd get them wrapped tight or even with some chicken stock.Last edited by ItsAllGoneToTheDogs; November 12, 2023, 04:51 PM.Comment

Yes you will be fine heating them in the oven. Pork butts are some of the most forgiving things we smoke. If you got them to 168 F then there should be some bark and some smoke flavor. Just wrap them so that they will not leak any of the liquids that accumulate in the foil. I’d go for a 250 F to 275 F oven until you get them probe tender, that will be in the 203 F neighborhood . Save the juices in the foil when you unwrap them to add back after you pull or slice them. That juice will bring the flavor up a notch.Comment

Thank you all for the comments.Comment

I’ve done that a few times…not because I ran out of fuel, but because I ran out of energy and wanted to go to bed. 🤣
After smoking that long it’s got some nice smoke flavor and probably a bit of bark developed. At that point you could vac seal and freeze/fridge until you’re ready to finish, or just wrap and toss it right in the oven to finish cooking.
Either way it should come out great!Comment
