Cooked 2 briskets and some Dino Ribs yesterday. Wrapped an unsliced flat in foil about 8. Found it on the counter at 7 this morning. Freeze or trash?

Trash.
I know, thanks for confirming.
Probably not the correct "scientific" response, but I've consumed brisket many times under the same or similar circumstances.
Is a day on the toilet worth the risk?
Cut back on the beer next time & this won't happen again
Maybe... it was pretty damn good.
risk it for the brisket.
Smoking meats was how our forebears preserved meat before refrigeration.
Chop it and mix with sauce then freeze anything you won't eat today. Should be fine.

And they just let it hang in a shack until they were done cutting hunks off of it to eat. You left yours on the countertop, wrapped in foil for 11 hours. I'd eat it without a second thought.
Fresh/uncooked meat, hell no. Cooked, especially smoked, I would say go for it.
Confession time, I have a habit of leaving leftover cooked bacon from breakfast out all day and then snacking on it later that night or even the next morning for breakfast again. Never once been affected by it.

If you wrapped it in foil while still hot you should be just fine. I would probably use it for chopped and maybe crock pot it for a bit just to be safe.
As a kid, we used to do that all the time. Left over bacon, round steak, or fried chicken were left on a plate on the stove. Of course it probably didn't make it past 8 hours there but still...drummer0415 said:

My wife freaks when I just throw leftover pizza in the oven. I always tell her it won't be there that long and it is processed enough that it won't spoil anyway.
Eat it. It's fine.

Serious question because I don't know the answer - how long would people typically smoke meats when doing so for preservation rather than immediate consumption? Just wondering if there would be any meaningful difference in bacteria levels/if it is a wholly valid comparison.FSGuide said:longeryak said:

That being said, I would most likely still eat it.
General rule of food:
A lot of rot is bad but a little rot is good.

Typically until completely dry. Moisture is where the bacteria starts. Time is based on the size.

I would crock pot it immeduately for a long time, and eat it for sure or freeze after crock potting.

There are 2 things that are impossible in life.
One of them is licking your elbow.
The other is finding a food that doesn't taste good with bacon.
? What's the problem? I hardly ever put dinner away, will reheat the next evening and enjoy. Smoked meat isn't even a question. It's good
