re: Freezing Pulled Pork and Smoked Chicken?

I have frozen both and reheated with success, especially with the pork.
A friend vacuum seals pulled pork and freezes. Reheats by putting in a pot of boiling water for a while. He swears it tastes and smells like fresh off the smoker when you cut the bag open.
I'd cut the chickens into parts, at least halves, to make freezing and reheating easier.

This is what I was thinking. The last time I used my smoker I did a couple whole chickens and a butt. The chickens came out perfect. The butt looked good and tasted good if you got one of the outer pieces. The inner pieces didn't seem to have much flavor. This is after I put plenty of rub on it and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Should I inject it or season it up when I heat it up with the BBQ sauce?

Yeah, that is how I reheat too. Vacuum seal not long after pulling and freeze. I try to arrange the meat so that it is uniform in the bag and no more than 1.5"-2" thick. To reheat, I fill one of those disposable aluminum plans 1/3 to 1/2 of water, throw the vacuum bag in there, cover with foil and bake at 195 for 2-3 hours. Can't tell it from just pulled.

Vacuum seal, if you can, if not, use freezer zip loc bags. If vacuum seal, re heat in boiling water for approx 20-30 minutes for pork. For chicken, it's best to slow thaw as it tends to dry out during the reheat.
If you're going to be doing sauce with your pulled pork, put it in with the pork at time of freezing and it'll be good to go once reheated.
