Was thinking about doing a couple whole ducks on the smoker this weekend. Any of you have a good recipe or directions that you could help with? I usually do the wrap in bacon with cream chees and jalepenos but was hoping to try something new as well.

Thanks!

    My buddy has done quite a few ducks (wild) this year. I will try to see if I can get his method/recipe

    Spatchcock, course up the skin a little, just to break the skin, not go thru the fat.  You can cook a little confit in a pan inside to render some of the fat to start.  I'd go raised indirect once you out it on the grill, skin side down.  make sure you capture the fat.  Go 300 for 30 mins, drain the fat then add onions, garlic, and sliced potatoes to the pan.  Keep cooking it as the fat further renders into the potatoes, etc below...

    Take off once it reaches about 160, then go raised direct to finish.

    Spices you can try some off the shelf asian and place some orange slices on top or under the breast skin.

    Take pica and post 'em.
