Cooked brisket should not be unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. At that point, it should be re-heated or refrigerated.
5 to 10 pounds in one cut is the normal range.
Meats are kept better in the freezer. Meats can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days if raw and 1 to 2 days longer if cooked. Always place cooked meats in an airtight container.
A brisket is below the chuck in beef. Because of this, if not cooked properly, it will become tough and stringy. Following a good recipe is essential if a cook wants a successful, delicious brisket.

Yes, it freezes and keeps that way very well.
Potentially hazardous food should not be unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Less time is better.
This is a very good way to store this food. It will stay good for a year or two. Freezing is the best way to keep meats cooked or raw.
Estimate approximately 4oz per (Adult) guest. So that's 4 guests per pound of cooked meat or about 25 pounds of cooked brisket. Remember a brisket looses approximately 20% of it raw weight when cooked. Average brisket weights 9-12lbs lets call it 10lbs for easy math. when cooked it will serve at about 8 lbs and so you would buy 3 briskets that each weigh slightly more than 10 lbs. Brisket is a very fatty coarse meat that shrinks markedly when cooked; when smoking, experienced grill masters expect 40-50% shrinkage. Even cooked low and slow in the oven, you lose at least 1/3. In addition, unless you are just making sandwiches, 1 pound cooked only serves 3 people in party type situations. I allow 1 pound raw for each 2 persons. ellenskitchen.com
