I'm planning on firing the smoker up this weekend and putting a couple butts on. We're going on vacation next week and I'd like to freeze the pork after I pull it and take with us to the condo. Is it that simple that once we get to the condo that I just defrost put in a pot with BBQ sauce and heat? If not, does anyone have any tips on this. I'd also like to do the same with a couple whole chickens. Will freezing it take away from the flavor and am I wasting my time?

I can't speak for the chickens but pulled pork is fine after it's frozen.

Vacuum seal it and then defrost it in very hot water. Once it is defrosted, remove from bag and heat in a pot w very hot BBQ sauce. Eat.

I always do two butts, pull one and freeze the other unpulled. Thaw out, then pull, put in foil pan with a touch of apple juice or chicken broth for moisture cover with foil and heat up slowly in a 225 degree oven. Just like new.

Definitely better not pulled before freezing. Less surface exposed to freezer.

Just don't pull the pork. Wrap tightly in about 7-8 wraps of Saran. Freezes like a champ. Thaw microwave and pull. You will never know the difference.
