Smoked duck
 

I got a smoker for Christmas.
Has anyone smoked duck on one before?
Did you marinate the breast or just soak them in water for a few days?
Also what type of wood did you use and what temp and how long did you smoke them.

I want to smoke a few before I put them in the gumbo.

Answered alot of questions i had.

I smoke chickens in my electric smoker all the time for gumbos.
Don't "over" smoke them, if your going to put them in a gumbo they don't have to be cooked all the way in the smoker.

Eman is the smoker authority here, send him a pm

My dads neighbor gave me six he smoked yesterday talk about smell good. I'm gonna cook them in a gravy this weekend.

Put on smoke no more than an hour or so, or until the skin looks cooked. Then wrap in foil, Sealed good.
Put back on pit and let cook a couple more hours, low heat.
Test for tenderness. If not tender, put back on again.
I inject them and season the outside real good.
If you don't put them in foil, they will dry out and be real tough.

take the skin off and brine the breast over night. wrap w/ bacon and smoke to 140 internal for eating . smoke to 120 if you want to make gumbo or cook in gravy
