written by BBQ & Grilling Recipes | February 28, 2024

Ingredients

1 large duck or small wild goose
Salt
1/4 cup thick maple syrup

Directions

Salt the duck well inside the cavity, then paint the outside of the bird with the maple syrup. Salt the outside well.

Set the bird in your smoker with a drip pan underneath. Smoke between 200 and 225 degrees over apple wood for 4 hours.

Baste the ducks with the maple syrup every hour. When smoked, allow to cool completely, then carve. Serve cool or at room temperature as a cold cut or appetizer, or carve the breast whole and sear in a pan. Slice and serve.
