I Got A Duck

My landlord gave me a wigeon drake, and I am going to smoke him. I am going to make an apple rub, and smoke him with apple wood.

delicious.

I hear the ducks are very .... fatty. be sure you don't get yourself a grease fire.

NOMNOMNOM!

I'm going to set up the grill for indirect heat, and using a drip pan so we use the duck fat for potatoes.

yum!

Ya cock smoker!

That sounds like it could be a new verse of a nursery rhyme, like "Jack Sprat"...

I was about to ask pipe, bong, or paper....:p:

I used to know a guy that was called Duckbutter.

True Story™.

I think you should name the duck.

Name him "Biggus Duckus".

The duck was only about 1.5 lbs and smoked in about an hour and a half. He was OK kind of gamey. Keryx said he tasted like organ meat which she liked a lot. the rub turned out good I will use it on a pork roast next week.

1 Granny Smith Apple
1 Tb Cinnamon

Sorry about that. You take the apple and core it and slice thin on a mandolin, dry it in the oven, then put in a food processor wizz it up as fine as possible. The apple does not dry out completely so you will not get a powder. That is the hard part, just mix the cinnamon, brown sugar , and salt. I am smoking a Boston butt rite now, I will let you know how it turns out.

Don't let Chris Thile see you do that.
