Freezing Pork Belly Burnt Ends

[Finster]

Smoking some pork belly today for burnt ends and it looks like there is gonna be quite a bit of leftovers.
should I vac seal and freeze after smoking, but before saucing, or does it not matter if I sauce them all and freeze what’s left?

I'd freeze before saucing. After the thaw, heat back up with fresh sauce. Did you cook 18,000 pounds, not sure how you end up with leftovers with that???

Agreed with Jerod Broussard - I’d freeze before saucing. Then the defrost/reheat can just be the finishing step with sauce

Mine are already sauced so I just vacuum seal them and heat them up again in boiling water. Simple and works for us. Most of the time they are reheated while camping so easy is better.
