Whether it&#8217;s for taco Tuesday or topping off your lunch salads, it&#8217;s a great meat to have on hand. Once it has cooled transfer it to an airtight container and keep it refrigerated until ready to reheat. It will keep for up to five days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also freeze the leftover pulled pork. Allow it to completely cool and then transfer it to freezer safe bags. Make sure to label the date. It will keep for up to three months in the freezer. Let it defrost gently in the refrigerator over night before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-tips\">Top Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Want to be game day ready? You can season your pork shoulder the night before. This will allow the flavors of the barbecue rub to slightly permeate the thick hunk of pork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No need to let your meat sit out and come to room temperature. Adding your meat to the smoker still slightly chilled will help it have that beautiful smoke ring. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An instant read digital thermometer is your best friend. Barbecue isn&#8217;t about how long, it&#8217;s about reaching target temperatures. You will also use your thermometer at the end to gauge how tender the pork is. If it easily slides into the pork without any resistance, this is referred to as probe tender and you know it is done. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always let your meat rest. Not only will it make it easier to handle when you shred it, but it allows all of the juices to redistribute into the meat giving you that tender and moist bite. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div
