I was thinking about smoking a duck. What kind of wood would you recommend, spice combination, length of time and temp. As you can tell I have no idea how to do duck, and I know duck can be difficult. I appreciate the help.

I smoked Goose Breasts for my dad last year. I used the WSM and apple wood. Very light on the smoke wood. Keep your internal temps like chicken. As far as rubs, I used Wolfe Rub Original on the Goose and dad loved it. I made a rasberry sauce to go with it. Good luck and lets see some food porn.

Mark from Hogg Feathers was telling us earlier today at the Meadow Creek open house how he once tried to smoke a goose and he had some trouble with it, but he's since figured out some better ways to cook one. You may want to check with him on duck.

Actually, I smoked a goose in a WSM and eventuyally had to throw away the water pan. I couldn't get the gamey scent out of it no matter how much I cleaned it. I have smoked ducks in various cookers including: an ECB, WSM and the Lang 60.

I tend to smoke turkey and duck much like ribs or pork, at 225 - 250, with a wood that compliments the flavor of the flesh, like cherry or apple for duck, and oak for turkey.

I've never smoked wild duck, so I cannot extoll any advice for their leanerflesh or gamier flavor.

Hope this helps.

Mark
