They freeze just fine.

Before or after smoking.

That is a heck of a deal. I have had frozen butts for over 9 months and they still come out fine when smoking.

I was stocking up on butts all Summer when they were 99 cents/lb.   Had 80+ pounds of them in a friend's freezer.

I would say ask CRG but I don't think he has much experience at buying butts in bulk :D
