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.
Estimated Cooking Time. How long will it take to cook brisket to 200-205 F? As a rough estimate, assuming a cooker temp of 225-250Â°F, figure 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes per pound for a whole, packer brisket weighing 12 pounds after trimming any excess fat.hole, untrimmed briskets weigh 8-20 pounds. A brisket about 12 pounds fits easily on either WSM cooking grate. Briskets larger than 12 pounds can be shoehorned between the handles on the cooking grate and will shrink during cooking.
