BBQ to go

[Big T]

In January I am planning on making a trip to Colorado to visit with some friends. I would like to smoke some ribs or brisket but I don't have access to a smoker, or a grill for that matter while I'm out there. I don't think the condo owners would like it either.

Has anyone or does anyone have advice for smoking some ribs and then traveling with them. We would probably eat them up to two days later. Smoke - travel - eat. Do they keep weel in a cooler, should I cook them less and then finish them in the oven. Cook them fully, then reheat in an oven. What about pulled pork? Any advice?

Welcome to the madness BigT :!: :!: The way I would do that traveling thing is to cook all the Q before the trip, then put all the food into separate food saver bags (suck out all the air and seal) , freeze all of it , and when you get where you are going just leave the Q in the food saver bags and place into boiling water to reheat, open bags and enjoy!!! This is the only way to "preserve" Q and have it as good as it was the day you cooked it. Just my opinion... :D :D :D :wink:

I know frozen pork butt gets a funny taste when ya freeze it in a zip lock bag I am goin to get me one of them fancy food savers fo sho. Brisket and ribs never make it of the dinner table. Leftover brisket and ribs now thats funnnnnnny :lol:

Thats why the ribs never make it off the table. Bills Rub and Texans Jelly that little pig did not have a chance of gettin off the table.

I second Neck's advice...I foodsaver any leftovers and its sooooo ez to drop it in water to re-heat...good tastin Q the second time and third time and fourth time...you get the idea!!!!! :D

I do like reds advice, Foodsaver it and you can also warm it up in the Microwave. Just put it on medium power (or defrost mode) to reheat, comes out smelling and tasting like its fresh off the pit.

If your going to buy a food saver, get the one with a "manual seal" button on it. Put a little liquid in the food bags (brisket drippings or apple juice for the ribs) and seal it all up. Your food will be very moist when you reheat it.

definately use the foodsaver, and the pepper jelly. I prefer Texas Passion so far. just put in boiling water and reseal what you dont use.

Great idea to stack those websites onto your avatar. I am going to use the SLOVACEK one shortly!

Thanks.

I agree with Mac on this one! I will order some Slovaceks for my in-laws Christmas Eve feast. Problem is, the site is down for maintenance now! :cry: :cry: Woodman
