A Couple of Butts and A few Rack of Ribs

[bryan moorhead]

I have 2 butts and 5 racks of ribs that I want to take with us to a music festival on the 23rd of May.  I will not have time to smoke these prior to the festival.  I plan on smoking all this this weekend.  I would do the ribs like usual with 3-2-1 but not do the last hour until the Saturday morning of the festival.  Until then I will wrap tightly and freeze them.  The butts I will completely prepare and pull.  Then put it away in freezer bags and freeze until the morning of the festival.  Will this be OK or am I going about this wrong?

The butt idea is great. The ribs cook all the way then reheat that day.

Happy smoken.

The only reason I thought about the ribs being prepared this way is to add the BBQ sauce when I reheat for the last hour.  But I guess cooking them completely the reheat and add BBQ sauce will be good.

Thanks!

If you stop an hour short an hour won't get you back to where you left off. It would take time to get back to your ending temp.

Happy smoken.

You could always go naked the whole time and then warm sauce on the side. Let the ribs speak for their self.

Happy smoken.
