Hot smoked duck

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to smoke hot smoked duck? Prepare your food. Thaw the duck first if it was frozen, then wash and dry it. If there are remnants of feathers, remove them with tweezers.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take a large pan large enough to fit the whole duck. Pour water into the pan, add salt and spices. Place the duck in water and boil it over low heat. Half an hour (or 40 minutes if the duck is large) after boiling is enough.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then remove the duck from the pan and cool it.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place wood chips in the smokehouse (two handfuls each of alder and apple wood).

5. STEP 5

   

   Place a fat tray on the bottom (line it with foil to make it easier to clean later), place the duck on the grill, cover it with foil so that condensation does not drip onto the meat, and close the smokehouse.

6. STEP 6

   

   If you need a water seal, add water. Place a pipe over the smoke hole and take it outside (better through a window than into a hood, so that the neighbors don’t think you have a fire).

7. STEP 7

   

   When the smoke starts, time it for 35 minutes. This is your time to smoke a small duck. If the bird is large, smoke longer.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cool the finished duck and let it sit for a day in the refrigerator.

I don’t have a smoker, so I bake the duck in the oven. I love the recipe - duck with oranges.
