smoked duck

[145 grill]

Has anyone ever smoked a duck and if you have how was it and how did you do it.  I would use a UDS to smoke it. Any help is appreciated.

I've smoked duck over tea leaves, with 5-spice powder in my rub, and it worked out fine. Not much different than smoking a chicken. But like  cooking a goose, it helps to prick the skin a bunch so the fat bastes while it cooks.

Piece the duck out in small chunks. rub, wrap in bacon and glaze with honey. dip in Sweet onion sauce. only cook to mid rare. tastiest morsel on the smoker!

 I second this method. Try this served sliced over a bed of micro greens that has been lightly tossed with a miso/sesame vinagrette.

I'd trust what Cornbred says.  The dude is a duck killing eating machine...pretty sure he knows his stuff.

We use the tea leaf method on stovetop in one of our woks and it works great!

These all sound great, a friend was asking how to do it and next time we get together we are going to try these recipes.

I love duck and I am using a tea leaves for smoking it. I think stove top is not a great choice because it would not give you an original taste of the duck. The tea leaves spared it's fragrance while smoking a duck.
