I've been reading about pork butts for the last 15 minutes or so and I'm conviced the Boy and I will have to smoke one. Luckily we're very close freinds with a fresh pork resource. I've also always been a bulk buyer and I tend to hoard meat in the freezer just in case it's not on sale anymore when I come back. It's so much eaiser to cook for 6 than it is for two.
However all this bulk buying and mass cooking causes a problem. There just aren't that many people comming to dinner and there are only so many nights I can searve/eat the same leftovers without getting board.
Which brings me to my main question. If, well I should say when, I smoke a pork butt what is the best way to store the leftovers for later use. Can I just seal in an airtight ziplock bag and throw it in the freezer. How long will it keep in the fridge or frezzer? I'd also be interested in storage tips for other types of smoked meat. It would be so much easier and a much better use of time to smoke many types of meat at once rather than just what we plan to eat for dinner that night and storage tips will definatly help me do that.
