I'm with ya, Friend. I don't know anybody that would BBQ the same meat for 5 weeks. 14hrs, 16hrs, maybe 18hrs . . . but
weeks?
*ducking*

OK, I had that one coming and a good one BTW - - - one thing I forgot was that he also said that the Cryovac was guaranteed for 25 days
I wanted to say "OK, Bubba, DO THE MATH"

It's that "new math" they've been talkin' about.

I buy and freeze ribs with good results. When they are on sale I buy a few racks and freeze for whenever …if you dig deep enough at the store most are still partially frozen anyway.

Btw - they thaw quick soaking in cold water.

OK, "given" BUT wouldn't they ?POSSIBLY? be better if bought closer to the Cook Date
Besides that, OUR freezer is a side by the refrigerator type so where would the Wiffy keep her fudgecicles and Blue Bell

I’ve never noticed a difference. I have an upright in the garage which allows me the extra storage. I wouldn’t ask you to cut into the Blue Bell space :)

We have a huge stand up freezer, then the side by side type on our kitchen fridge, and then the one on the deck for all things cooking and partying. I see no difference in cryopack, food saver bagged, or recently bought. We buy meat on sale and freeze until we need it. Plus we buy a calf and have butchered one a year or so and take our food saver to the meat packing plant and bag our meat right there in food saver bags. I would be willing to wager that most ribs you buy have been previously frozen at one point at least.

I refreeze meat ever now and then if something comes up and I don't have the time to cook it. In most cases the store get's it frozen and I just don't like to refreeze it after it's been thawed, just my 2 cent's.

that's pretty much my thinking, Willie, as Sooner mentioned, sometimes if you dig down in the case you will find some that are partially frozen - - - ?if? I was going to finish thawing and cook they would be my choice BUT ?if I have a choice? I prefer the most recent "freshest" cuts if possible "different strokes different folks, I guess?"
