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.
The brisket I'm doing for the instructable here is only about 4 pounds. I usually do an 8 lb brisket and so it is on the smoker for at least 8 hours. Sugar will turn into an almost hard candy shell over your brisket.Pepper burns and turns bitter when you cook it that long.Put a light coat of yellow mustard Put the brisket on fat side up.ime to maintain your smoker at correct temperature for at least an hour per pound of brisket. Note: I should explain that in several of the pictures there is a brisket at the top of the frame, and 2 pork spareribs at the bottom of the frame.
