Pulled pork ??
« on: April 28, 2016, 11:31:54 AM »
I smoke shoulders all the time for pulled pork but always "pull" it after it cools enough to handle. In the next few weeks I'm needing to do about 10 shoulders and will need to freeze for a future party. Any luck freezing whole after cooking?  I could pull them early but seems storage wouldn't be quite as neat.
Thoughts?

I do this often.
Cook and pull butts.
Once pulled place is vacuum seal bags to whatever size servings you want. Vacuum seal and freeze.
When ready to eat, boil a large pot of water and place vacuum seal bag in water, do not open bag.
Boil bag until hot, pull out of water, open bag and dump BBQ in foil tray and stir with fork.
Eat

Haven't frozen a whole smoked butt.  Have always pulled it first.  You might have some issues separating fat.

We do this for camping except make them single serving size.  Boil, cut open, add sauce, stir/mix, dump out on bun. 

Worked great in Yellowstone.  Found a wide spot.  Pulled the gear and chairs out.  Boiled water, add some potato salad and had dinner.  While watching the sun set in the Hayden valley watching animals and  hoping to see a grizz or wolves.  Had lots of people stop.  "Whatcha watching?"  "The sunset" Then they'd drive off muttering.  Clean up was throw vacuum seal bag in garbage, throw paper plate in garbage.

I've done it with portions of the butt and it does indeed harden.  You can't pull it in the same fashion but it is still delicious.
