Because that's a big vac sealer required and a big water bath assuming you are not slicing and bagging first. You'd want to keep it complete as long as possible IMO.
Having said that, I've done the following on a few occasions with excellent results: Smoke to 190-195. Wrap in foil, 2 large towels and a foam cooler box. Leave it there overnight. Some of you will freak out about this Danger Zone thingy. Pfffft. Slice and vac seal the next morning. Freeze for the big day. Warm bags required to 150F in a water bath. Cut bag for service.
No complaints. My brother, who has spent a long time in the USA has had this and said it's the best he ever had. QC group of one however.
for larger items you use a plastic bag, it doesn't have to be vac sealed...maybe one of those plastic cooking bags. just have to get the air out and weight it down
