If I freeze a whole cooked butt can I thaw it out in a fridge before trying to re-heat or does it need to go straight from the freezer to the cooker?
 
Thaw first. I would pull it before it goes in the freezer, it will be a lot easier to heat up.

Pull it first, put it in a covered half size foil hotel pan, cool down and freeze it. Thaw and reheat to correct safeserve temp, add apple juice or bbq sauce if needed to prevent drying out.
 
Pull, vacu-suck, freeze. Remove from freezer, put bag in boiling water. Eat.

^^^^^ this is how I do it for people here that want it to eat over time. Works well. Just make sure you cool it before the vacu-suck process.:thumb:
 
Putting a whole butt back in the freezer after cooking would also worry me as it would take a long time for the whole butt to reach safe temperatures on it's way to freezing. Definitely pull and cool before freezing.
