Introducing DavesStuff - Innovative Camping Gear That Works

No dramas mate, the olive oil would have been a good addition, why sugar also I wonder? There is already sugar in the beer? Just makes a sweeter base I guess

Couple of other base recipe's had it so thought, 'why not', but really doubt it did much to be honest. Bases came out really well, so thats a keeper for me!

Having a crack at hopefully not stuffing up a duck this weekend @PeeBee mate!

‘ABC-DavesStuff Crispy Smoke Duck’ is our 24hr plan ahead :-)

Starting off preparations tonight with delaminating the quackers skin for fat draining later via the onboard 150psi ute tank :-)
Works a treat, really pops that skin off nicely! Removed the wing tips, washed thoroughly inside and out then dried with paper towel. Super boild a half full DavesStuff pot of water and then added roughly 1/4 bottle of ABC sauce, good splash of rum, 1/4 cup of rice wine vinegar and cold water cornflour mix. Dunked the duck full depth in your pot mix for a few minutes until the skin bloated back up again. Packed it back inside full with a rub of Chinese 5 spice, knot of spring onions, granny smith apple pieces and stale bread chunks before skewering back together. Into the foil tray on a trivet, kept aside a cup of broth for moisture baking/smoking tomorrow and will cover back into the fridge with a clean towel tonight to let the skin become ready.
Fingers crossed, hoping it’s going to be a ripper family feed tomorrow thanks mate ;-) !!

Looks great Mark, 'Gwendolyn' is going to busy again - you are leading the charge with another 'first' Nigella!!!! Can't wait to see the outcome. This little steel box is amazing and simple for sure. Still got 4 of them in stock at the NP price if anyone wants one - they are not doing much good in my garage!

Thinking about the air compressor idea, clever BUT just be aware there is oil, water and who knows what in the compressor housing and tank that has been growing away. Your water trap won't catch oil vapour - its now in the duck! Regards micro contaminants, the cook temp should nail that if its over 90degC, and age/quality of compressor will determine how much lubricant you get out of it. This would carry over for grease lubricant as well, but would be very small especially if the compressor has remained fairly cool during the 'pump up phase'. If the compressor is fitted with teflon seals and no lubicant, then ignore this part of the message. This is driven from my daily activities isolating contaminant sources from direct contact with food and food contact surfaces. Compressed air is an absolute no-no for clearing down food contact surfaces or blowing direct onto product unless it is carefully treated. Compressors are very dirty devices. If you decided to do this 'trick' of inflating the skin after a day on the track with the compressor hot from all day running, I would advise to add a charcoal filter in-line between the reservoir and the gun, or even better immediately adjacent to the gun, sanitise the gun also. You also need to filter the air down to 0.01micron - your water strainer will be sitting at around 10 micron. The carbon filter will take out any mist or food taint from oil or grease.

The vinegar and rum will help reduce the micro population as well, being alcohol and acidic.
