Well, it was a success. Everyone loved the pulled pork and ribs. And it was awesome to see everyone talking about how they liked th different sauces. One for everyone by serving three different types. I loved the vinegar sauce I made. Was perfect on the pulled pork. Now...... what to do with 4 racks of ribs and half the pulled pork left over. Hahaha. Super bowl is tomorrow but my buddy has an 18lb brisket going.

Good stuff this SI 3D is!

Looks good Jeremy and sounds like you had a house full of happy eaters.  As for left overs, vac seal and freeze.  Super easy to reheat when 'ya just gotta have Q' at the last minute.

Vac sealed most of it up today. Saved a bit for dinner tonight. Looking forward to a little more 😁

Congrats on your successful Large scale smoke! I am sure it was quite rewarding to have so many happy diners. I smoked pork butts for my son's confirmation (30+).

My guess is that you will be even more impressed with your leftovers. For some reason, the smoke flavor really permeates and equalizers in leftovers, which is why I always smoke at least two butts when I smoke to make sure that I have plenty of leftovers.
