Hey all -
So I've smoked a few briskets in my past, but it was in my early days of smoking meat so I just kind of put a rub on my meat, threw it on the smoker, did a Hail Mary, and hoped for the best.
Now I'm having my whole extended family over for Christmas, and I've spent hours researching how best to smoke a brisket.
The one thing I can't find an answer to - instead of letting the meat rest in an empty cooler, could I rest it in the fridge?
Maybe this is a really stupid question, but I'm just hoping that would be okay so that I can smoke the meat overnight, then let it rest in the fridge all day while I worked on the rest of the meal (and drinking...).
