Duck on the Big Easy

halfcocked · Dec 7, 2019

It is actually "easy". This 8# bird was probably done for most brethren (170 in breast; 160 in thigh) in about 1:45. I don't like juices flowing from my fowl so it went for 2 hours 30 min. Breast was done but still not as done as I like it leg was near perfect. Salted last night, pepper and complete seasoning before cook and a couple of potatoes to provide some moisture during the cook. I see a great future for this unit.

Excellent Bird! TBE will cook to Perfection. What temp measuring deceive were you using and perfect placement of the food! Like the foil on the bottom too for clean up but it may have caused it to cook the bottom of the bird more.

Thermapen Mk4. I wonder if you are right about the foil increasing intensity. It would be good to know. Also, does the top cook faster or slower than the bottom, in general.

The top cooks a little faster but not much. I have a 2" rack tto raise the bird just a little.
