Title: Smoker dead. How can I preserve my raw brisket until the part arrives?
Post by: Scott The Primate on April 25, 2013, 03:26:50 AM
So my puck burner is shot, I imagine Bradley will send me a new one.

Problem is that I bought a 12 lb brisket yesterday at the butcher and it's out of its package. I've read about wet aging and am wondering what is the best way to preserve this thing until my new part arrives, which might be a week or more?

I have a vacuum sealer with bags large enough to jam it in, and I don't really want to freeze it.

Any suggestions?

If your brisket has been continually refrigerated rewrap in saran wrap and keep it in fridge until your part arrives. Unless the meat was at or close to it's expiration date you should be fine.

I know you said you really don't want to freeze it but that's exactly what I would do with it.

I had this happen once!

I borrowed a neighbor's hotplate, covered it with foil, and manually swapped dead pucks until smoked enough.

PS...This requires plenty of beer!!!
