When Abdur-Rahim returned to Wilmington from Chicago in 1977, one of the first things she wanted to do was visit Garrettâs home at 227 Shipley Street. She was too late. âI went to that spot and it wasnât there,â she said.
To achieve the best results, I cook the beef brisket at 225 degrees for about 1 hour and 15 minutes per pound. The time per pound is strictly a guide and cooking times wil actually vary.
Then, tightly wrap the brisket in a couple of layers of aluminum foil, crimping the edges to make a tight seal. Return the brisket to the smoker or grill and continue cooking until the brisket is very tenderâthe internal temperature should be 190 to 195 degrees F, about 3 hours longer.
