In December 2011 I found six fresh ducks in the bargain bin at Safeway for 69 cents per pound. I brought them home and stacked them in my freezer. Tonight we shall dine on roast duch, wild rice veggies and a bottle of good zinfandel wine. Life is good!

Almost as good is the pint of fat that rendered. Better than chicken fat or lard and almost as good a goose fat.

Ross, did you ever smoke a roasted duck with tea leaves? Did a couple in a canoe camp on the river and smoked 'em in a camp Dutch oven. Served them up with orange sauce and rice. Yes, life is good!

I have never smoked a duck. I presume that it gets brined with sodium nitrite and salt but please tell me more. I have two left. I also have two cornish game hens.
Thanks.

I'm smoking a yard bird tomorrow sans nitrite. Will post details and pics. Unfortunately I have a Bradley so can't use tea. But, hmm maybe I can sprinle some on the puck. My better half is away, so who cares what it will taste like!

The preparation of steaming and drying is similar to the preparation for Peking duck. I must try this method.
