I bought two racks of baby back ribs. Not all my guests can make it. Should I freeze one or should I smoke both. I'm not sure if I can freeze a fresh rack or smoke it and vacuum pack it for later use, Jim
That's why I now buy spares for my backyard events...I would demolish a whole rack of BB's by myself!
I freeze ribs, and they are just fine for smoking later. In fact, I get a little nervous if I don't have something in the freezer on backup reserve for those smoke emergencies! Just be sure you work all of the air out of your package to prevent freezer burn. If I stock up, I use the food saver if they don't already come in a cryovac package.
You don't say how many people you are having. In my house two racks are an appetizer. If you don't finish them off, keep in fridge for a snack or leftovers next day.
