Wow looks like the end of winter was well spent.

Nice job. It's great to see some German food on the forum.

Wow that looks fantastic.

Matt-I've done that too!

I bought a couple of briskets today-one for me and one for my neighbor. I trimmed them, injected and rubbed. I plan on cooking the briskets first thing in the morning. I dug my WSM out of the snow pile and saw this. The water pan is filled with a frozen mass of smoky water and pork fat. This...

That sounds tricky. The duck will take a while to come to temp, while the goose dries out. Why not cook the duck breast separately and put them in the goose when you serve. Good luck, Darrell

Bob, That looks fantastic. Regards, Darrell

Great look ribs Rich and nice green grass. My grass is covered with 8 inches of snow. Regards, Darrell

Bill-that looks fantastic. I've been cooking potatoes in duck fat the last couple of months and I can't stop. Nice to see others cooking in the snow last night. Regards. Darrell

Chris-I agree smoky drippings are tasty, but I find the amount of drippings and quality is often inconsistent. The two birds I cooked on Thanksgiving had very little drippings so I was glad I planned ahead and made make ahead gravy for a crowd.

Sort of-I harvested the duck from BJs.

That's my friend Curtis and the jars are filled with make ahead gravy. I can never seem to collect drippings on the grill for gravy. However, I am getting good at cooking potatoes in duck drippings under the rotisserie.

Well done sir. The shrimp and tuna look fantastic.
