If I buy an unfrozen pork butt 3 to 4 days prior to smoking it, would it be safe to keep it in the fridge for that length of time?
My dilemma being the amount of time it would take to thaw out if I froze it first.
Does the buy by date on the meat give any indication of how long I can keep unfrozen meat in my fridge? or do they do things differently at a grocery store that allows them to store the meat for a length of time?
Thanks in advance.
