Smoked, Glazed Duck Breasts

Made this last week and wanted to post the recipe given the results looked mouthwatering and the compliments kept coming !!

1. Pat duck breasts dry and season well with salt and pepper
2. Marinate in a combination of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and toasted sesame oil. This will help the duck retain moisture when smoking 
3. Smoke on the BGE using applewood chunks at 200 for about 45 minutes, indirect heat using inverted plate setter, fat side up
4. Transfer to foil pan, open top and bottom vents and heat a cast iron pan with a little canola oil to around 500 degrees
5. Place duck breasts skin side down in pan and render for 30-45 minutes until most of the fat has melted and the skin starts to brown
6. Brush skin side of breasts with warmed honey and place under broiler for 3-5 minutes until golden and crisp
7. Rest for 10 minutes, slice and eat however you like !

Sounds great till you get to the part about 35 to 40 minutes at 500*? Looks really rare for that cook time. Awesome looking duck!
