Hello,
I was planning on firing up the smoker this weekend, as I haven't done it for a while. I've got 25 lbs of pork shoulders, a couple rack of pork ribs, and a request from my father for a beef brisket.
Here's the truth, I don't really care for smoked beef. I've had brisket all over the place, and it's just not my thing. I've made it for other people and they rave about it, I just don't care for it. I like pork and chicken. Make that I love pork.
So my father asked me to make him a brisket, not a big deal. My question is what's the best way to package a smoked brisket? Should I chunk it and vacuum seal it? Should I leave it whole and give it to him to deal with? Should I slice and vac seal in smaller bags? Usually, when I make something we eat it fresh and freeze the rest. Since he's not going to get it the day he's done, what method would you recommend for him in order to keep it the highest quality possible?
