I am in the Philippines, and good beef is not produced here, except for the Wagyu from Mindanao. And that's mondo expensive.

So, I now have two suppliers for US beef. One is offering Beef Short Plate as an alternative to brisket (packets cut brisket costs about $8-10/kg here). At $6-8 per KG, short plate is certainly less expensive. Has anyone smoked Short Plate? How was the smoke and how did it taste?

Thanks so much.

It's probably good eats. Give it a shot.
 
I've had Plate Pastrami. Great stuff but VERY fatty. Brisket is a lot leaner and less waste if you are not into fatty meat...JJ
 
Apparently, back in the day, it used to be more common than brisket. Sounds like it would be good for sammiches.

I think I'll cure one plate, and smoke it like brisket. Smoked Corned Beef or Smoked Pastrami on some nice thick texas bread sounds great.
