Smoking some Aldi Briskets, are they any good?

If you like smoking different types of meats, you know that smoking a Brisket is considered the top tier of smoking. Briskets require long cooking times, and they can be very expensive as well. A full packer Brisket can cost well over $100 dollars. Nothing is more disappointing than spending that amount of money, and all day smoking it only to discover it is dry and lacks flavor.

So when I discovered Aldi was selling relatively inexpensive Brisket flats, I thought this might be the perfect way for those wanting to try smoking a Brisket. To make things even easier they already are seasoned. All you need to do is remove them from the package and throw them on your smoker.

But are they any good? Today I find out as I smoke two of them. One seasoned with Salt and Pepper, and the other with a Texas style BBQ rub. Will they be worth the effort to cook, and more importantly how will they taste? Join me today as I find out.

Ingredients:

1 Aldi Brisket, Salt and Pepper Rubbed

1 Aldi Brisket, Texas Style BBQ Rub

Start by removing the Briskets from the packaging. Allow to sit on the counter while you fire up your smoker too 250 degrees. Once temperature is reached place the Briskets on your smoker, with a water tray. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 160-170 degrees.

Once that temperature is reached, remove the Briskets and wrap in foil with a little bit of liquid. Place back on your smoker until the internal temperature reaches 201-203 degrees, and a probe slides in and out of the meat effortlessly.

Remove and wrap in a towel, and place into a cooler. Allow to rest for at least an hour or two, or even longer. When ready to eat Slice the Brisket and enjoy!
