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.
Right now we are looking for a fresh brisket because we are going to make smoke brisket. Buy a packer brisket (see picture below) thats about 8 to 10 pounds. A bigger brisket will also work, but it will take longer to smoke. Look for a brisket that has a fat cap about 1/4 to 1/3 across the top.
