We are slaughtering 2 hogs in a month or so. I don't have enough space to keep it fresh (ie fridge smoker room). Is it ok to freeze some cuts like pork bellies and hams then thaw them out and then cure & smoke and refreeze once done? I searched this question but to no avail. Thanks in advance.
Absolutely...do it all the time

Perfect. Thanks for the reply!
I freeze my sausage meat all the time. I am a strong believer in wrapping very thoroughly with plastic wrap and then freezer paper. I am not a fan of vacuum sealing meat for long storage. When meat is vacuum sealed and then the packages are banged around in the freezer the vacuum sealing bag can get a nick in it and release the vacuum and then the meat will freezer burn. The paper protects the plastic wrap and if it does get a nick in it you will only see a little freezer burn in the area of the nick.
