Smoking Ribs Night Before

Quick question on smoking baby backs the night before and letting them rest in foil and wrapped in towels in a cooler. Would they stay warm and moist for close to 24 hours if I wanted to serve them for dinner the following night?

That’s too long of a hold…at least for me to be comfortable with. 

I’d cook and then refrigerate, maybe reheat via sous vide

That’s a food borne illness waiting to happen.

In my experience, they reheat well, sous vide as above or even reheat in foil and then out of foil on any grill, perfect use of a gasser.  If you're in the sauce or glaze camp, do that when you reheat.

I've always thought ribs reheat pretty well and I think that's still preferable to resorting to turbo ribs, which some seem to like but I am not among them.
