Bull Brisket injection

[Beerlord]

How long is too long to let a brisket flat sit in the fridge after injecting it? I was going to smoke my flat right before bedtime be we're going to have a few hours of possible bad weather and I'd rather not trust things to chance so my plans are changing. I want to inject and prepare the flat the night before then wake up around 3 or 4 (after the weather is supposed to be out of here) and quickly start the smoke. Is there any problem with leaving the injection goodness in the meat 6 plus hours? I usually inject, rub and smoke. I'm not using anything over powering, just some beef stock and some simple seasoning.

I think most injections expect that you will do it up to 24 or more hours in advance. You will absolutely be fine with 6 hours.
