Domestic duck has lots and lots of fat. Remove any excess you can, and save it for frying potatos. Score the skin so the under layer of fat can render out. Have a good sized drip pan to catch the fat. Otherwise, cook much like chicken. The breasts are usually thinner, and so cook thru faster than chix.
So far, I haven't tried separating the skin from the body, and keeping the bird cold for a day to dry out, a'la Peking style. To date, I haven't had skin as crispy as I would like, and will eventually try that.

Duck breast is great rare but the rear quarter should go to 165-175*. I generally butcher them and do confit from the thigh/leg and pan sear then grill the breast. I have done them inverted on a chicken stand with pretty good results
Edit: Assuming you are talking domestic birds

I've done duck breast many times. Start inside on the stove to render some fat out or on the egg in a CI skillet. Then finish raised direct or, as stated above, over a drip pan w a small air space below it. Recently did a spatchocked whole bird raised indirect w a drip pan filled w potato and onions. Dome was350 and went til thigh was 176.
It turned out great but any potatoes after leave me unsatisfied...
