Has anyone ever tried freezing ribs or fattys (or brisket) after a smoke? The reason: I'm thinking it'd be better to do one long smoke on the weekends, then freeze the meat for those busy weeknights when smoking isn't an option.
I've frozen almost everything I have ever smoked, everything has always turned out fine. A vacuum sealer really does make a difference though. Careful vac sealing a fatty, ya can smush it down real flat real fast
I freeze fatties all the time. We always smoke several at a time, both stuffed and plain then pack the frozen ones with us to friends' houses, lake weekends, other places where we want to enjoy and share the goodness of fatties.
Also freeze buckboard bacon and Canadian bacon too...
I have froze fatties and they held real good tightly wrapped in clear plastic and then wrapped in foil. Never had spares around long enough to need to freeze the leftovers.
