Thanks for sharing 92xj. That looks like some perfectly cooked duck. I did some mallards with a simple brine on my smoker and they were great. I'll give your recipe a try next time.

Perfectly cooked it was. I live with my thermapen on my side and use it in everything I cook. Good luck with your cook and post some pictures!

I cooked this tonight in my traeger and it was delicious. Great recipe. Added a little whitetail backstrap to the mix for good measure.

Looks great, I haven't smoked a duck in a long time, but they sure turn out good!
