BBQ Duck breast and Southwestern Pheasant breast

[wyd]

Some winter time cooking on big blue on Sunday after the snow storm  Did some BBQ duck breasts and Southwestern Sauced up Pheasant Breasts.  Took about 2 hours once I got the grills fired up til I finished.  Then took it to my parents along with my little brother and we feasted.  Then my dad took some of the left over duck to diner he goes to a few times a week and the owner and cooks tried out the duck.  As always a excuse for me to use the big blue kettle.  Man after not using it since Thanksgiving I was going thru withdraw.  After you cook on a kettle and taste the smokey goodness its hard to eat anything else.

So is that cook the breasts in the sauce and then finish on the grill? I've done pheasant before and was really worried I'd overcook it and it would be dry.

And... Need to see more of "big blue" in the pictures.

I seared the pheasant and then put it in the pot and simmered for about 2 hours.  The pheasant just fell apart almost like it does when I do the same recipe but with country style boneless pork ribs.  The searing for me is just to get some smoke into the meat so it keeps the on the grill tasted even though I have it that sauce for 2 hours.
