Another easy recipe I like to make is apple brined pork steaks, by Malcom Reed. These things are easy, cheap, and delicious. I give a lot of them away to people at church, and they go nuts over them. For about 30 bucks, I get 16 steaks or so (2 butts cut into steaks). You can't beat getting that much meat for so little money. On the downside, these are one of the messiest things I cook. My Weekender is not a big cooker, so 16 pork steaks fills up my three cooking grates quite well. The cleaning after cooking those probably takes an hour and a half.
As for freezing food before or after cooking it, I've never done that. My wife has on occasion put leftover bbq in the freezer, but I don't know that we've ever taken it out and eaten it. Our typical routine is cook and eat it Saturday. Eat it again Sunday after church. Eat it a third time Wednesday evening, and give any leftovers away. I buy more than enough meat each week to provide 3 meals for 3 or 4 people. We are a household of 4, with one living on campus at a college across town. She'll be home all summer. She likes Q, but my other youngster does not. It's always a toss up as to whether she'll eat it or not.
