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.
Use whatever smoke you like. I pick mesquite for brisket. Soak the chips for 1 hour before using them. Add the chips to start the smoke, then add the brisket. Replace the chips when they burn out for 3-4 times, depending on how smoky you like your brisket. A 4-5 Lb brisket may take 8 hours or so.
