I sell the pulled pork pulled chicken and ribs frozen by the pound chicken and pork are hand pulled then.chilled in a blast freezer then packaged and frazen. Smoked brisket before never packaged it. Slice first then brought down to temp or take the whole brisket down to temp slice then package?? Guess I'll have to try it both ways see how it comes out.

You can reheat on the kettles, I use steel pans, and add a little apple juice, then cover with foil and let it heat over the fire. Hot in about 20 minutes, pull and serve.

Thanks landarc! I'm doing a "dry" run today with a Butt and will see how it reheats after a couple of days in the fridge. Cooled down, foil wrapped and ziplocked.
