I have a frozen brisket flat about 5lbs, I seasoned it before I froze it. My question is can I just throw it on the smoker Saturday morning? Or should I defrost it? If I can throw it right on.. any tips?
 
You can cook any frozen meat, it just takes twice as long as thawed meat.  Is it recommended?  Not really.  I've done it more times than I care to admit, and IMO it doesn't come out as nice as a thawed piece of meat. 

If you take it out now and put it in the fridge, it should be closer to being thawed by Saturday.  If you have a microware with a defrost setting, you can use it.  Mine says to input the weight of the meat then hit defrost.  It uses a 30% power setting for defrost.  I usually put in half the weight and hit defrost, then depending how much more thawing it needs, I use the 30% power setting and do a few more minutes at a time until it is thawed.  That way I don't cook the meat with the microware and I truly just thaw it.   
 
I would say the outside Will get done and the inside will be still frozen ..lol. like thawing meat in the microwave.. yucky! Oh.. someone else said that. [emoji]129300[/emoji]
