I just finished vacuum sealing the brisket I cooked today. It will keep just fine in the freezer until I'm ready to serve it.
For storing bbq more than a day or two, I think a vacuum sealer is one of those "must have" tools of the trade. The vacuum sealer will keep things fresh and storage is a breeze.
When it's time to serve the 'que, I'll thaw it and reheat it in the microwave or in a crock pot.

Jack's Old South Cooking School
I'm not able to make it to the next scheduled Jack's Old South Cooking School on Feb 29th, but in case you're interested here's some more information about the agenda and schedule for the school.
The school will start out with a dinner at Myron Mixon's home in Unadilla, GA on Feb. 28th. Saturday, March 1st, Myron will begin with whole hog and then move into brisket, chicken, ribs, and pork shoulder (butts). Myron will cover every aspect of the cooking process from sauces, rubs, injections, and meat prep along with tips on the final presentation of bbq product for the judges. The class will conclude Sunday, March 2nd around 3:30 p.m.
A three-time world champion, Myron has the bbq credentials that most bbq competitors aspire to achieve.

BBQ Business Plan
Many of us who cook bbq in contests, for friends, or even in competition have spent some time thinking about the in's and out's involved in starting a bbq restaurant.
There are books about starting businesses available for free at the local library and many other good ones for sale at the local book store, or you can order them from Amazon. Sooner or later though, you're going to need some detailed information regarding the profit potential, start-up costs, and working capital requirements for various formats of a bbq restaurant.
You can get the specifics from someone else who already operates the style of restaurant you're considering, if they are willing to assist. You can search around on the internet for restaurant statistics via small business websites, but perhaps one of the more relevant sources of information is to purchase an actual business plan that was used to open a bbq restaurant.
I haven't read this business plan and cannot vouch for it's contents, but based on the outline it looks like it just might fit the bill. For anyone thinking of spending $200,000-$300,000 to start a restaurant, $25 seems like a wise investment.

BBQ in New York City anyone?
I must admit that I have my own personal doubts. I've never been to New York City, but MidtownLunch.com, a website about eating lunch in New York City, is a big fan of Daisy May's BBQ carts.
Daisy May's offers bbq pulled pork, bbq beef brisket (chopped), bbq chicken, and Texas red chili from three bbq cart locations. Daisy May's also has a permanent location.
Midtown Lunch has been featured in the New York Times and New York Post and publishes feature stories on the blog about the choices for lunch in midtown New York City.
