Didn’t take any “during” pics but it tasted so good I thought I would share.
Don’t usually care for goose (wild Canadian) but this may change my mind.

That looks tasty! What brine method did you use?
I used IamMadMans dry cure in the fridge for 5 days, then for the pastrami rub I combined two recipes from the net. rubbed and let them sit overnite, then smoked with some cherry. I"ll post it later when I get a chance. (not at home now)

Isn't ImMadMan awesome, thank you for all you do.
 
Best way to make sky carp edible!...
"sky carp" :pound:

Could take out a number of the impertinent slow-walking bastards every day but have compassion

LOL, My son used to work in an industrial park with flat roof buildings like that... the geese nested on the roofs and crapped all over the grass areas all day defying people trying to get inside. A co worker from India was terrified of them, called them cobra chickens....:-D
 
That sounds and looks amazing!

They guy that taught me to build a smoke house and cure / smoke meats Brought me some goose jerky and would not tell me what the meat was until I guessed what it was. I swear it tastes just like Elk jerky. He laughed and said he thought the same thing.
 
I would be all over that. Did you get any sliced pics?
 
Sorry for the slow reply, was out of town hunting. Will post sliced pics when I get one thawed. Here is the recipe

Cure (all are multiplied by total weight of the meat)
Cure #1 x .0025
Kosher salt x .025
Brown sugar x.0125
Cure in fridge for 5 days.
Soak in water for 1 hour changing water frequently


Rub
2 T. White sugar
1 T black pepper
3 t ground coriander
1/2 t mustard seed (crushed)
1 t Hungarian paprika
1 t dried minced garlic (didn’t have fresh)
1t onion powder
1/2 t ancho pepper

Rubbed this on 4 lg. goose breasts and 2 legs, set over night.
Then smoked using cherry.

*Disclaimer*
I’m no expert on curing please read Iammadman or Thirdeye or buy a book.

Outstanding! Goose is my favourite bird. Such intense flavour. I can't easily get it in Australia but it's common in Hong Kong, roasted similar to the way they do duck.

Curing it would be totally off the scale!

Cheers!
