Hi all:
I did my first BBQ Duck tonight on a gas grill using a beer can stand. No beer, I used Coke with some liquid smoke added to about half a can. It was about a 4lb Duck. I thawed it out, scored the skin well with several pokes of a sharp knife. Seasoned with some Sea Salt, Pepper, and Sage. Added some baby red potatoes in the bottom of the pan, placed the Duck with coke and can stand in the center of the pan. Oh yeah, also added some hickory smoke chips in a metal box and cooked it all for about an hour and a half. Towards the end I added some yellow squash spears seasoned with olive oil and salt and pepper to the grill. It all turned out perfectly with no basting. I did rotate the pan with the duck a couple of times but other than that it was all about enjoying a Scotch, cigar and good company. Added the Orange glaze just before serving and it was awesome.
