"Claudia Cornejo" wrote in message ... Why would one want to freeze something that's smoked? Properly smoked meats should not need freezing. Claudia He is talking about hot smoked meats, not cure smoked. Big difference. To reply tot he OP, yes, I do it all the time. It is just as easy to smoke two briskets and a pastrami as it is to do one. I have great brisket year round and don't have to freeze my ass off in the winter. A Tilia Foodsaver is great for things like this. Tastes as good as the day it was cooked, and I'm talking even two years later. Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome |

You're thinking of cured meat (with nitrate, usually, or at least lots of
salt) that is often cold-smoked as well. It's the cure that preserves the meat at room temperature (although the smoke may help a bit). Hot-smoked, uncured meat is just like any cooked food. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Louis Cohen Living la vida loca at N37° 43' 7.9" W122° 8' 42.8" "Claudia Cornejo" wrote in message ...

I am going to smoke some meat this weekend. (hot smoking at 225F). Can smoked meat be frozen without a great loss in taste or texture? I will smoke lamb, MAYBE pork butt (depending on the answer to this question), salmon, and chicken legs. Thanks! i The guys on AFB do it all the time so I assume it's still good. They do meat in large quantities and freeze it constantly. kili |

Meat was being smoked before there was refrigeration. It tastes better, and it lasts longer. Don't worry about it. If you smoke it and then put it in the fridge, you won't have to worry about it for about a month. |

Doing it casually at home is a very different thing, particularly if it's merely done for flavor. Don't chance it. And, yes, smoked meats freeze well. Better vacuumed. Pastorio |

Smoke cooking does NOT preserve. |
