Fire extinguishers are AMAZING. Had a grease fire my first Thanksgiving after my goose baking dish leaked in my oven. 5 mins from being done and my oven erupted in flames. Luckily I had purchased a fire extinguisher. It ruined the meal but saved my house and oven. BUY ONE NOW. (Check it regularly too they do go bad)

To be fair, goose flambé sounds like it was ruined before you applied the CO2 sauce

I've always found dry chem to be a better pairing with goose. I save my CO2 for beef and lamb.

Ah, I thought the goose itself was up in flames.

Happened to my grandmother once when she was cooking lamb.

(The lamb was up in flames, there was no goose involved)

Maybe that was the problem

Don’t see how it would have helped. Geese suck at cooking

Fires in the oven aren’t too crazy, they look scary but if you keep the door closed they will suffocate themselves.

Yeah the big sealed metal box that's expressly designed to get hot is the best fire extinguisher of them all.

It's why you should have a cooker cut-off switch away from the cooker so you can turn it off without risking yourself and then just let it burn out.

Run away and switch off all the breakers

Just to ask the question. hypothetically, if the oven had a convection feature turned on, is that fan just moving the air around the ovemn? or introducing outside air? if outside air., I imagine it would just feed a fire in this case. but Im guess, no outside air is introduced to the oven. Perhaps a reddit oven pro can fill me in?

In practical terms, introducing fresh air means that the OvenU needs to heat it (requiring energy). You'd also need a definite exhaust path for the (quite hot) air. For a standalone cooker, that would heat the kitchen in short order. For these two reasons it makes sense that they'd be a closed systen.
