Hey guys, new member. Long time reader. Not sure if this is even place to ask a question. I plan on smoking a brisket in 4 days but am going to buy brisket tomorrow. Should I freeze it and defrost or is ok to leave in fridge for 3 or 4 days? Thx

Welcome to fun and learning! Leave in the fridge. If it's in a cryopack, you can wet age it for several weeks.

Welcome to The Pit Gregg. It will be fine, but I suggest trimming it right away and then apply your dry brine. That will give it plenty of time to penetrate.

Howdy from The Great State of Jefferson! I did a choice CAB whole packer for the 4th of July that sat in it's cryovac for 38 days and it was fantastic. There's a prime packer sitting the beer fridge since the 13th just waiting for an occasion. The point (pardon the pun) is beef can wet age for quite a while in a vacuum. Here's Meathead's take: Wet Aged Beef. Most meat is shipped from slaughter houses as large wholesale cuts packed in plastic vacuum bags in boxes. If kept this way at 34 to 38°F for about 30 days, enzymes tenderize the meat, but the flavor is not as enhanced as it is in dry aging. If you buy vacuum packed beef that has not been aged, keeping it in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks may tenderize it a bit.

Top left, "Today's Posts" to start. Also, you can look through the menu of forums and find a forum such as Charcoal cookers or whatever. It's pretty well organized.

No worries my friend. Unwrap that bad boy, trim it, salt it and come back in a few days. t's all good! Just so long as your packer was not bought on the 50% off rack you are golden. In fact a couple of weeks ago I dry-brined a chcuck and forgot above up it for a week. Made a smoked meat
oaf. D licious
