I always freeze my leftover meat in the plastic foodsaver bags. I'll let them thaw and just toss them into some boiling water. All the juices stay in the meat, and provides an even heat.

Would recommend for smaller quantities, not sure about several pork butt's worth of meat.

My vacuum sealer has been a must have compliment to the smoker. If I’m spending the time to do a smoke I don’t get the point in doing a single butt or loin. I’ll do 2 - 3 at a time and freeze leftovers in sealed bags. It’s so easy to grab 2 lbs of meat from the freezer and it’s ready for dinner in an hour or so.

Summer time when we dont want to cook, we'll thaw one out.
We'll get out a foil pan throw tortilla chips, salsa cheese, meat, onions, all that stuff, and put it on the grill. We'll just all eat out of the foil pan. No dirty dishes or mess to clean up.
