This is domestic duck. I brined in Mad Hunky poultry brine overnight..

Also loved the spatzel. :)

I pretty much love smoked duck. :)

Thanks for looking!

You tease!!!!


Looks marbelous (Billy Crystal mod)

Great looking meal..... Congratulations on a great cook.

lol Thanks!! :becky:

Thank you!! I hope to make gumbo with some of the duck. :)

Lookin good Miss Jeanie. I am sure you promptly disposed of the renderings in that drip pan! :rolleyes:

Yummmmmmmmmmmmm! nice cook Jeanie!

lol Hoss that's my favorite part! :becky: Thanks! :thumb:

Thanks Code3! :becky:

Outstanding......what internal do you cook duck to. My wife loves duck. This must be done.

Thanks! I like to bring them to 165F or until the juices run clear. The skin on this one was crisp in places and not so crisp in others. I should have taken the time to crisp it up but I was hungry. :redface::-D

Looks great Jeanie. I just love duck but haven't been duck hunting in years so have to rely on friends to give me a duck or two..... not often! Wonderful flavor and fat to die for. Can't wait for the next one.

Marty Thanks! I love duck fat too. Hope you are able to go hunting again soon!! It's nice of your friends to share with ya though. :thumb:

Beautiful. Added to the ever growing to-do list.

Never had duck but after seeing this it on my list to try! Fantastic looking grub!!

Very nice Jeanie! :clap2: The food looks amazing, and aside from that, the BPS drum and the custom grate are sa-weet!

I've eaten and enjoyed duck, but never have cooked it. I've been thinking about trying that as well as goose.

Would love some quacker gumbo but duck hunting is the most miserable sport i know (plus i really s*ck at hitting flying animals).
