Smoken Frozen meat???

[smokaholic]

I frozen mine and it took at least 4 to 5 days to thaw in fridge but thats the best way to do it. Now im not a fan of letting it sit on counter for 6 to 8 hrs but its possible...just dont let it get to room temp. Let it get mostly thawed in package and while its still cold but mostly thawed you can prep it but when I do that I immediately cook it, I dont re-refridgerate. im probably going to be scolded by the germ police for that :)

Alton Brown from the food network said meat should be thawed in water?? For me I do the fridge thing, but have tried the water and it worked fine too

Does anyone thaw their meat in brine? Would that prevent microorganisms from taking hold or is it just asking for trouble?
