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.
Smoking the Brisket: Preheat Smoker Grill to 170 degrees F. Cooking at a low temperature will make the wood smoke more. Place the brisket (in roasting pan) in the pre-heated smoker and close the smoker lid. Smoke the brisket for 1 hour for every pound of meat or smoke overnight.
