The BBQ BRETHREN FORUMS. - View Single Post - $$$ Per LB....Served Hot Off The Pit VS Vac Sealed(Heat&Eat)

Q-Dat · 06-11-2013, 07:21 PM

I have a number of friends who want me to start selling them BBQ. I'm gonna start out small for now. For the most part I will be unable to distribute the meat to my friends on the day of the cook. The plan is to vac seal the finished product at its optimal freshness and then bring it to them later.

My question is this. Do you think the fact that they will have to reheat the meat themselves vs getting it in a foil pan hot and ready to eat should lower my asking price much?

Please. Food safety and legality are not an issue here. I am only asking a pricing question.

Thanks in advance for all advice.
