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.
Typically, when oven roasting a brisket, the temperature is set to 300 degrees F., for 30 to 45 minutes per pound. When smoking a brisket, it is cooked at 225 degrees F., for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours per pound.
