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.
For example: I smoked the 13lb brisket at 220-250*F, and it was done with an internal temp of 190*F in under 8 hours. According to what I've read, I should have expected to smoke it for about 1.5 hours per pound, putting it at least upwards of 15 hours.or example: I smoked the 13lb brisket at 220-250*F, and it was done with an internal temp of 190*F in under 8 hours.
