Postpone smoke

[Kent Chambers]

I was going to smoke a pork butt tomorrow, but emergency came up and will not be able to do it.
I applied rub to pork butt and have it wrapped in foil in fridge. Can I now freeze pork butt and thaw it out next week for a smoke?

Interesting question. If memory serves me correctly I had something similar happen and I froze the meat and everything was just fine. I do believe I washed the rub off when I defrosted the meat though and applied fresh rub.
