Cuban Pork (Lechon Asado) Has Been Pulled

Phase I is in the books. After marinating overnight, I smoked two butts last night and just now finished pulling them. I'll post the marinade recipe along with the one for the Mojo all together in a day or two. As piquant as the marinade smelled, the meat didn't seem to pick up an over-abundance of flavor from it. Tastes pretty much like good ol' smoked butt. We'll see what the Mojo does for it tomorrow.[p]In the meantime, I need suggestions for how to reheat (and partially re-hydrate) this stuff tomorrow. Right now the meat is sealed in 13X9's and sitting in the fridge. Somebody posted a technique using Coca Cola to help perk the pork back up. Does that really work?...and/or what else should I consider doing?

    WDAN,[p]The last time I needed to reheat some, I poured Apple Cider over it (this was the non-alcoholic carbonated stuff that is bottled like Champagne), and put it in the oven for a while covered. It came out pretty good.[p]I've never tried the coca cola idea before, but I'm curious now, and I may give that a shot just to see how it works.[p]
