So... here's my quandary :)
Restaurant Depot near me has a good price on boneless prime ribeye roasts ($11.39/lb for Black Angus); they are cryovac packaged and about 20-22 lbs. I will be smoking one (though I cut into 2 pieces to get 4 ends) on September 24th but picking them up on the 14th.
My understanding is that I could keep in fridge for about 6 days, but that would mean smoking it by the 20th. Do I push fridge store until the 24th (prepping it on the 23rd), or do I freeze it, then take it out on the 20th or 21st as it'll need that much time to fridge thaw?
