Yesterday I spent approx 12 hours smoking the meats on my Traeger Ironwood pellet smoker.
Today we sliced the brisket and pulled and chopped the pork and packaged them in 12 ounce servings using food saver bags. After a partial freeze we sucked the air out of the bags using the food saver and returned them to the freezer.
After the DW's give away program to neighbors we have enough brisket, steak and pork to last the trip.
The purpose behind this effort is to have a meal ready to re-heat for those travel days after we pull into a campground and set up for the night and don't have the time or desire to go looking for a local restaurant. About noon on travel day we'll remove a pack of brisket or pork from the freezer and let it thaw during the remainder of the day's travel so it is ready for warming when we get to our location.

We did the same thing in 2019 when we left for a 30 day trip from NC to the west coast and back. It's so nice to have some good ole' home cookin' on the road. Cracker Barrel and fast food gets old fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!
