I've done pork butt the day ahead. What I've done that worked out well is to cook and prep AS IF I am going to serve that day. I hold in the cambro, pull it and the whole nine yards. I bag the pulled pork in gallon ziplock bags and add some apple juice. The next day, first I move the I add a bit of apple juice to the pan and reheat on my WSM or Hasty-Bake, with some smoke added. I've had pretty good reviews from folks when I had to do it that way. For example, for my neighbor's daughter's HS graduation party.
