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.
Preheat the oven or smoker to 225 degrees F. Trim the fat evenly across the top to 1/4-inch thick. Season the brisket liberally with the seasoning rub. Cook in the oven or smoker until the internal temperature on an instant-read meat thermometer reaches 175 degrees F, about 6 to 8 hours.
