Charles,
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Do you freeze some of it when on sale? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I most definitely do. I am frugal and a hoarder by nature so because I do go thru a bunch of meat.... When I find it cheap, I buy several cases.
It seems that I can never just smoke for my consumption and that I am always tossing on a couple of butts for friends and family.
During FB season, I cook a bunch of butts for every home game.
Also, I use butts for making sausage.
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>If you do freeze, how are you wrapping, etc., and how long are you storing? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>My butts come cryovaced and that is how I freeze them.
I usually use them all within 6-8 weeks.

So lately, while still cooking alot of pork butts, I have been cooking more turkey breasts, pork loin, tuna and salmon. I'll do a brisket every month or so.
Funny thing tho, I can't remember the last time that I did ribs for consumption at my house. It would have to be in late august some time.
