When I hit the link it says no you tube available.
 
CCG why no vacuum wrap?  I usually just take the foodsaver vacuum pulled sealed bags and float them in boiling water to reheat things.  If I pre sauce before freezing then I would re-heat the sealed bags and retain all the juices.

I plan on pulling before I freeze.  I saw this device called a Ro-man pork puller that fits into an electric drill that really pulls a 8 lb butt in less than a minute with no problems.  I ordered it over the weekend and they shipped it today should have it by Wednesday.  Will FTC for a couple of hours then pull then shrink wrap and freeze.  Should I sauce a little in the shrink wrap?  Seems it would help the reheat.

If shrink wrap is vac pak then that is good.

If you have access to a 4 rack and a 6 rack and a vac seal and multi ovens ...

then you probably know what's going on.

I've cooked my whole life but as you know doing it for such a large quantity changes everything.  Especially smoking and cooking something like butt.  There will be some things to be done by feel and luckily butt should be a pretty forgiving cut of meat.  There is no substitute for experience and I can' t wait to get it done.

Here's a video of squirtthecat and hal using that pork puller this weekend:

Oh yeah, that Pork Puller flat out rocks.   We had 4 butts in the bottom of that turkey fryer, and it went through them lickety split.   We added a bit more spices and a vinegar baed sauce from Paducah, KY during the mix.

I don't think you'll want to add too much sauce, or it will get soupy.

Yep, the Pork Puller flat out rocks!  It performs exactly as advertised.  Great tool.
