smoking some ribs tonight. have 4 slabs in the smoker.i'm 2 hours in.

and will be smoking a pork shoulder tomorrow.

I am smoking them in advance b/c i'm taking them with us on vacation starting saturday.

It will be sunday and monday before we eat them.

my question is, how should i store them until then. should i freeze them? or simply wrap in aluminum foil and put in the fridge?

just some info on my process. used a store bought rub with some extra salt and pepper.

at hour one, and hour two. i used some apple juice on them.

to complement the apple juice I decided to use apple chips for smoke.

i'll add additional notes as i go.

thanks. - James

FYI the temp at hour 2 was 250.

this is only my second time smoking ribs so i'm still in the learning curve for heat control.
 
You can just put em in the fridge .

 if you have vacum sealer ,seal them and you can reheat in boiling water.

 if not wrap in foil w some apple juice and reheat in 200 degree oven.

 same w/ pulled pork seal or in foil w/ some finishing sauce.

Well your ribs look fabulous and I would agree with Bob (eman) and just keep them  in the refrig till your ready to re-heat. Now for re-heating I would if you have capabilities to a pasta pot or steamer pot I would use that to re-heat your food. Now it wouldn't let the meat dry out and to me it enhances the smokey flavor.
