wow that looks great gore! do you still render the fat in the frying pan if you choose to take the low and slow indirect way of cooking duck instead of just grilling it. i feel like if you were to smoke it you would want all the fat on so it would render into the meat and then maybe finish it off in the frying pan like you did? maybe not though, sadly i have never done duck but this makes me want to try. this seems pretty straight forward

Red is good.

Love duck especially peking duck.

I have done it at home but not yet with the bicycle pump to separate the skin from the meat. I kind of pull on the skin and try to separate it that way before going through the process.

Great job!

My wife does the Peking duck and it is a three-day process. Usually it is best in the oven. We've done it three times in the Primo. Only the last time did the fat render well (we kicked the temp up). The problem is that poultry soaks up smoke like a sponge and it is difficult to render the fat before it is too smokey.

That sounds awesome!!!

Oh, and ofcourse it looks great Gore :thumb:

Gore, Love to see you starting with the duck layed in a cold pan!:thumb:
Gorgeous and making me want duck...again.
Those are way better than the duck I can buy hereabouts too, way better!

Does she use the air compressor or the bicycle pump to separate the fat from the meat?

I have grilled duck and it has rendered nicely.

Haven't smoked it.

You know what, I really like that recipe for a Greenhead or a LI Duck. Never thought of the side burner for the rendering :thumb: I like that process to save the fat. Duck fat is some special stuff and as someone mentioned, in conjunction with some taters, that really works.

Usually, I just marinate them, quarter or half them, and onto the grill after 24 hours in the juice.

Thanks for the post, I have some combining to do :thumb::clap2:

If you've got an outlet outside, you could use a hotplate...

Or a heating blanket... :becky:
