Brisket Question?

[Bubba90]

I’m planning a cook, but due to work schedule it’ll be an overnight journey. To save time I was wondering if I can trim the brisket (12-14 packer) on a Wednesday, wrap in saran wrap and put back in fridge until Friday nights cook?

Thanks in advance

I dont see any issue with that.

Season on Wed. As well. The Salt will be absorbed into the meat, tenderizing and causing the meat to hold more moisture when smoking...JJ

No problems at all with that plan.

Thanks for the insight, just wanted to make sure.

Heck I think it's a good idea to do work ahead when possible...and like JJ says; more time for the seasoning to work it's magic :)

You can leave fresh meat in the fridge for days and days and days.

I like to leave meat in the fridge for at least 5 days.
