Mailing/Sending Brisket

[evilpsych]

How would you go about sending someone brisket? Would you finish cooking it, then refrigerate it for awhile and then ship in styrofoam with cooler-packs in it? How do the pros do it? I want to ship one of my brisket's from KY to CO, was planning on using Fedex.

From past posts I think Bill might have some advice to offer....If he ever gets away from the Ape marathon and X-box 8)

Hey evil man - welcome back to the board. Phil had some Kobe Bryant briskets dropped shipped Fedex for a competition awhile back. THink they just dry ice them. Pricey though.

i get briskets shipped regularly...... refrigerate them to just above freezing.. 35 degrees or so... then pack in a styrofoam cooler with a load of ice packs or a few things of blue ice on top of the briskets.. fill the dead airspace with foam peanuts box up the cooler and ship overnight. Just beware.. a 30lb box(3-h10lb briskets) cost 150 bucks to ship from texas to NY via fedex overnight.

if you use dry ice, make sure there is a lot of foam between the ice and the briskets so your dont burn a spot.
