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.
When the brisket is done, remove from the smoker and let stand for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then carve. There is something of an art to carving up the brisket. This is because with a full brisket the grain runs in different directions between the point and the flat.
