Canada goose cooking

Evening all. Has anyone ever cooked a Canada goose on a ceramic bbq (not the big green one I couldn't afford one of those 😁 Costco's finest) on a low and slow method perhaps adding some wood to the bbq for smoking, plus a water bath for moisture. I've roasted them in the past just want to try something different. Many thanks Dave

The old adage is to cook it with a brick and then throw the bird away and eat the brick.

Good luck.

Would you recommend a fletton, a stock, or a wire-cut ? 😆

Some of you guys must not be cooking them properly…. Or my tastebuds are defunct. I’ve never had a bad Canada. As they’re typically resident I assume they’ve done far less mileage than the pinks and greys I’ve shot.  One year we had a roast Canada and a roast pink foot for Xmas dinner between 4 adults and 3 kids and the overall consensus was that tbe Canada was the tastier of the two.  Breasted and cubed, for me, the meat is great in casseroles.

RE the bricks, I’ve never eaten one but truth be told I’ve definitely **** a few over the years - most recently whilst teaching my daughter to drive !!

No, he did use an awful lot in building though.

I never had to do that, I got a driving instructor involved.

My days are no longer interested in bricks of any sorts , I laid my last brick as part of my living more than 18 years ago , in that time I have cooked the odd Canada Goose and unlike Jonty mine were next to rubbish , tough and looked more like a piece of Beef , I vowed after I shot the last one I wouldn't shoot any more and from that day I have stuck to my word , maybe I preferred a lot of other stuff I was shooting at the time and I remember that last Canada as if it was yesterday , it was still alive and my dog was no weakling and he struggled with it , I had to give him a hand and that ole goose was easily as big as any Swan , I had a job to ring it's neck but done it in the end , I had four or five marshes to cross to get back and the easy way to carry it was to hang it over my shoulder , time I got back my shirt and arm was full of blood where the ole goose had been bleeding from his head and the blood had been using my arm like a bit of blotting paper , I didn't pluck the whole bird as they do take some time so I just cut the breasts off and as the one I ate was poor I gave the other one to our keeper to put in our casserole we used to have regular as our shoot day dinner , most of us are still above ground so it didn't kill us , well not all of us .:lol:

Should have gone down the brick route, would have tasted better 😋🤣

That ole goose was harder than a Stafford Blue engineering brick , he fought a good battle and nearly got the better of the ole man of the marsh  , hard yes but not hard enough , he would be now even if his wings were tied behind his back :good: .   MM
