Dividing up meat

[super8mm]

Ok, I have a question, if you get a large piece of meat of you divide it up to smaller portions and then freeze it or smoke it then freeze it?

I cook the whole thing and then divide into lunch/dinner sized portions.

That would depend on what hunk of meat you are talking about.

A whole ribeye, I will cut into steaks or roasts and freeze. Then take out what I need for a cook.
Same thing for a whole beef loin or pork loin.

What big hunks of meat are you talking about??

True, True...I was thinking along the lines of briskets...

I am talking about those 99¢ briskets

OK, for a brisket, I cook whole thing and then freeze up portions or freeze the whole brisket and then cook it later. Same for pork butts.

We dont do many briskets around here, but I always cook them then freeze. I found that pulled or diced brisket makes excellent nachos and other things.

Ribs I normally cook what we will eat then.

Yep, what he said... As for ribs, I don't like'em re-heated so we cook only as many racks as we're gonna eat...

I know ribs are not good reheated

I was wanting to expirement some with differnet things and after runining a whole pork tenderloin to where I had to burry it in sauce to eat it I thought of dividing up a brisket and try different rubs and maybe injections to see if I can beat sale and pepper
