I'm looking for options from experienced Brisket Smokers.
I bought a small flat brisket this weekend with the plan to smoke it Sunday. Well Sunday morning came and a family emergency popped up, and I was unable to smoke the brisket.
I had salted the meat Saturday night.
It is still in the fridge.
I work during the day on weekdays.
I am trying to figure out how to smoke this either overnight (while I'm sleeping), maybe during the day (I can come home at noon and start it, but my wife would have to monitor, and she is unfamiliar with the equipment), or use my Seal-a-meal to vacuum pack it and freeze it until next weekend (not sure if I need to freeze it since the Texas Brisket recipe says some people let the meat wet age in a vacuum package for a month?)
Do any of you experienced Brisket Smokers have suggestions to help me save this meat and get it smoked? From what I read I need to keep an eye on it and crutch it to prevent stalling, so I am concerned that I could ruin it unless I am watching it closely.
Yes I have a dual wireless digital thermometer I can use, and my smoker is electric, so no worries adding fuel, except maybe smoke chips.
Any help is appreciated!
