Partially cooked ribs question

cooking some baby backs now, some for today, some to take off a little early, vacuum seal and freeze to be finished on a weeknight in the future.  This isn't just about weeknight ribs, but also a test run for taking ribs for 8-12 guys to fishing/duck hunting trip in November where there is a gasser, no smoker.

I'm planning on reheating on the gasser wrapped in foil with a little char time at the end to tighten them up.  My question - what's the optimal stopping point today before I freeze them 70% cooked?  80? 90%. I don't want them be cooked to mush later.

    I would cook them all the way and just reheat.

    Great question, the bbq joint near my home pre-cooks their ribs. 100% cooked. When the ribs are ordered, they put them directly over an open flame, the ribs slathered in sauce then proceed to flip and turn for a few minutes or so til they are sizzling.

    Not sure if these pictures will do them any justice, but damn their good!

    I've slow smoked and eaten so much pork, I'm legally recognized as being part swine - Chatsworth Ca.

    What lit said.  Cook fully and reheat on the gasser
