A couple more questions. When I do the big cook Friday should I shred the pork before the fridge or should I cut it in chunks then warm it up in chunks saturday then shred?
Also when I warmed up the pork last night for dinner I put some apple juice in then covered and cooked at 300 degrees till the meat hit 160. It was a little but dry but not to bad, should I try different temps or more juice?
Thanks

Store it in chunks and reheat that way. Shred right before serving.
So if you pull the meat off when it’s done, vent the steam from the foil. If you don’t, I promise it will be dry later. Buckie is correct...cooking the meat is essentially “pushing moisture out.” If the meat keeps cooking you’ll remove the moisture from it.
So vent it. And stop the cooking when it’s the tenderness you want. [emoji106]
Most people discard the juice in the bottom of the foil (But it’s easy to collect if you put the foil wrapped meat into a disposable foil pan when resting). One idea is pour it in a fat separator and reserve(or chill it all down in a pitcher/bowl and remove the fat with a spoon).
This is completely optional [emoji116]
Some people heat the meat juice and pour a little over the meat when you shred (if it’s really dry). Some people mix it with sauce to incorporate that way. Other people save and add it to beans. Or if the meat is juicy as-is...you don’t need to use it at all. Just keep it as an ace up your sleeve just in case.
