I made too much pork. I'm going to freeze a big hunk. Should I pull it and then freeze or freeze it as one big piece?

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
Pull it first, then vacuum seal it, then freeze it. That way you can thaw it in hot/boiling water. IMO it loses almost nothing that way.

i've gotten better results freezing the butt whole, but you can do both. The basic premise of vacuum sealing lends itself better to whole pcs.

Weber Summit Kamado with SnS and Vortex.. Broil King Baron, Primo Oval Junior. Primo XL. Love grilling steaks, ribs, and chicken. Need to master smoked salmon. Absolutely love anything to do with baking bread. Favorite cool weather beer: Sam Adams Octoberfest Favorite warm weather beer: Yuengling Traditional Lager. All-time favorite drink: Single Malt Scotch
I like to pull it, then throw in a vacuum sealer bag with some sauce. Then, when I thaw it, all I need is some bread, and I have a great pulled pork sammich!

Looks like the good advice as already been given out, I agree. I pull mine all at once ( want to distribute that good bark all through ) then vacuum seal left overs.

Weigh out 4 oz portions. Wrap each in a sheet of plastic wrap by bringing the four corners together and twisting at the top. Vacuum seal or ziplock a bunch of the 4 oz wrapped packets. Freeze. Want a sandwich for lunch or dinner later? Take a frozen packet out. Throw in microwave for 30 seconds. Remove plastic wrap. Go 30 more seconds. Sandwich done. A pulled pork sandwich any time of the day doesn't come any easier. I also do this with pulled beef and/or chicken.Last edited by bep35; April 1, 2016, 06:36 AM.
