What did Harriet Tubman do after her abolitionist career? Tubman continued to fight for civil rights for women and African Americans. She was a community activist, a farmer, business woman, suffragist, cook, nurse, wife, and mother. She and Nelson Davis, her second husband, adopted a baby girl in 1874. They named her Gertie.
Give it a rest: Hometownâs Billy Durney smokes his brisket for 18 hours, but the meat isnât ready to serve until it rests in an Alto-Shaam (a professional warming oven) for 4 hours. âThis allows the juices to be reabsorbed into the meat,â Durney says.
What kind of smoker (or pit as the Texans generally refer to them) is up to you. You can mortgage the house or go cheap. Whatever you use you need to know your equipment and know how to maintain a steady temperature for as much as 10 to 15 hours. With the brisket prepared you need to get the smoker ready. You will want a fire of about 200 degrees F to 230 degrees F (95 degrees C. to 110 degrees C). At this temperature, you can expect the cooking time to be about 1 1/2 hours per pound.
