Going to be cooking next WE for my 2nd Grandson and my daughters 3rd childs shower/party.  Prolly going to do 2 8lb butts and 20ish chicken quarters.   Chicken I’m prolly goin to cook on-site but the butt I was thinking of cooking the day before, pulling and vac packing.  On Saturday fire the SV to 140-160 a few hrs before travel then FTC. Pulled pork in a cooler for 2-3 hrs before served since chicken will be done on-site.  

What say you?

    SV while the chicken is cooking. Cook the pork ahead of time, pull and vac seal in 1 lb bags (or so). Refrigerate. When the chicken is cooking, heat water bath to about 160° (SV or otherwise) and put the pork bag(s) in there for 20-30 minutes. Serve.

    Basically what I did for Mom's 100th birthday party. Except no chicken. =) Worked great!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    What he said. Temp to reheat PP in the Trés Booblay is at least 160ºF, iMHO.

    Ah ****.  I was just helping you think it out.  Didn't know you wanted a response.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.
