The eggs will always hatch in the order they were laid. Usually after 18 days, the first fertile egg to be laid will get hatched and thereafter one egg will hatch every other day. Do not get alarmed if you see the mother pushing the chick to one side of the nestbox. This is done some times by the female parakeet. It is done to facilitate the hatching of the remaining eggs.
With the brisket prepared you need to get the smoker ready. You will want a fire of about 200 degrees F to 230 degrees F (95 degrees C. to 110 degrees C). At this temperature, you can expect the cooking time to be about 1 1/2 hours per pound.
Add your brisket to the smoker. General rule of thumb is to smoke for about 1.5 hours per pound of brisket. Your time may be a little less or more. Add more wood chips to keep a good smoke going at least for the first 6 hours. I add every 2 hours.rmadillo Pepper shows you how to smoke a brisket using an electric smoker. Electric smokers are simply the easiest to use. Generously cover your brisket with your seasoning in the night before and place in the refrigerator. For this brisket we use 4 Rivers Smokehouse Brisket Seasoning.
