Beautiful...nuff said!

Now that was a close call.... I'm happy for you guys that your father is OK.
 
Man that was a close call for sure - glad it turned out good - food looks great 
 
Try this method-  Take a gallon ziplock bag place it into a pint glass with a corner pointed down (like a funnel shape) pour it in.  You will see the fat rise to the top after a few minutes.  CAREFULLY remove the bag keeping the cone or funnel shape.  cut a VERY small hole in the bottom of the funnel and let the "good juice" flow out, as the fat approaches the hole pinch the bag and toss the fat. 

PS works great for thanksgiving turkey juices as well.
 
Wow, glad your father and his house are both ok. Does the FD know what caused it? Kinda looks like an electrical fire from the pics.
 
Your Father was fortunate, it could have been much worse...JJ

easiest way to defat is to put juice in bowl and put in fridge or freezer (if you in a hurry). fat will rise to top and solidify where you can just take it out w/ a spoon.  If you want the juice hot just nuke it b4 applying to the meats.
 
Thanks for sharing all those pics.  Food looks great and I am glad everything worked out well

the UDS just about paid for itself in one long smoke. if anyone been thinking about building a UDS .

just do it. the temp is so easy to control. uses very little charcoal to get the job done.
