How does this look for a plan of attack? Anything missing...anything not enough or too much. Not sure about how much salt and pepper to use or any kind of heat like cayenne pepper. I plan to do the smoking, roasting, and making the stock Friday and gumbo Saturday. Thanks!

Debone and roast bones at 400 for 1hr
For the stock
Roasted bones

2 lg onion quartered
4 stalkes celery quartered
3 fresh bay leaves
3 cloves garlic diced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

I also think a quick hot smoke is better for if it is going into gumbo. Nice sear on the meat and still get enough smoke flavor.

Yea was unsure about the carrots lol...86ed
I think id rather a longer cooler smoke to get more of the smoke flavor. Roasting the bones I think would get that sear flavor?

Was just talking to a friend about that...I am doing that and will add 4 carrots to the stock.
He also said I could add a 8oz can or tomato paste (smear on bones/veggies) during the roasting process thoughts on that?

You folks sure can over-think things.

I don't like tomato of any kind in my gumbo

Make sure you get your roux to the color of a dirty old penny
Posted on 11/5/14 at 10:54 am to Neauxla

Keep in mind that the carrots will add a sweet component. Personally, I don't use them for stocks for gumbo and certain other dishes for that reason.
Posted on 11/5/14 at 11:05 am to NOLAGT
Everything looks good..... only think I would add is some oysters if you like them. If you can get them with the liquor add that too.

I'll never, for the life of me, understand why people want to make stock complicated. You're basically making a vegetable soup, and draining and calling it a stock.
For a duck stock, just boil the roasted bones carcass and call it a day. I will add peppercorns, as you can't readily put peppercorns in your gumbo.
All of the other ingredients you're using will be cooked in the gumbo. Why are you adding ingredients twice for the dish? Makes no sense to me.

Go longer than that. Here is where you adjust your salt and heat ingredient (cayenne, peppers, hot sauce, whatever you prefer.)

Don't get hung up on a measurement of stock. Use it to get the consistency you want.

I hate to agree with BB, but I don't season the stock either. I just low simmer the bones. I'm going to put seasoning and veggies in the gumbo. I don't use bay in gumbo. Otis seems to like it, but it has no place in my gumbo.

I usually put Bayleaf in my gumbo but forgot to last time.
I have done the roast bones vs roast bones and veggies and I liker the latter.

Since I'm always right, this must be an ongoing problem for you.
