a duck! That is interesting, will you soak it overnight or just rub?

I haven't done a lot of research on it yet, but if I'll probably cook it like I do whole chickens and turkeys - brine and spatchcock.  (Will also hit it when some rub)

The only thing different about duck is it has a much higher fat content.  (Get your drip pan ready).  But smoked duck is excellent.  I've even made a smoked duck ad oyster gumbo.

I have had a Masterbuilt 30 in electric for 1.5 years. Folks think I am some sort of smoking genius, but it is so easy. I highly recommend it.

The DUCK! The DUCK! how did it turn out? Ever since you mentioned " The DUCK"  has got me interested in trying it.

It turned out ok.  I ended up not brining it myself.  The whole duck I bought came frozen and pre-brined to some extent, so I didn't want to risk making it too salty.  (I don't shop anywhere fancy enough to have a fresh duck)  It could have used a little extra, but you could tell there was salt in there already.  The taste was quite similar to chicken (moreso than I expected - I've had duck prepared a few other ways and never realized how similar) but the meat is denser/heavier.  The skin is also much thicker, so it's quite hard to get a nice "bite through" skin on the duck.

I just picked a frozen duck up at Publix. We are going to try a young tom, and a duck on Wednesday.
This duck came with a 12% solution of water, salt and sodium phosphate and an orange sauce packet.

Sounds like the same specs as my duck.  I think it was about a 5.5 lber.  I cooked at 225 because I was smoking a ham simultaneously.  I normally cook poultry at a higher temp than that though.

we smoked a DUCK, Boston butt, and a young tom today.I rubbed the duck with thyme, poultry seasoning and my son, 5 year old granddaughter and myself  eat the whole duck . It was fantastic!not a lot of meat on the duck ,but, what was there was quite tasty.
