Christmas Goose

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
I'm thinking a smoking a goose on my BGE for Christmas. I had great success with a turkey for Thanksgiving (brined overnight, dry rubbed, maple wood = no leftovers!), but I wonder about all the fat from a goose. Has anyone tried it? Tips?

    Pyrat40:[p]Having done a goose, I think I will sick to turkey. If you insist on goose, a long, direct, low and slow is required to render the fat.

    Pyrat40,[p]Never did a goose - got a couple from my from my wife though.LOL[p]With all the fat on a goose, I would think that it would be
    similar to a duck. Pierce the skin, cut a few slits near the
    wings and legs, etc. to drain the fat. I would do it
    indirect with a pan to catch the drippings and avoid flair
    ups. You may want to steam it for a while to render off
    some of the fat before roasting also. [p]You might also try a Google search on goose / duck recipes.
    Just a few thoughts. Sorry I can't be more help.[p]Happy Holidays,[p]K_sqrd

    Pyrat40,
    there is a perminent stain on my dads deck from doing one in a metal smoker many years ago where the drip pan with water overflowed from the greese. i found that i dont much care for goose. duck is a different story.if you want something different, i think you could put a few small ducks in the egg

    you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it
