Delicious Duck

Cooking Time about 4 hours
Heat low heat (220°F)
Set up water smoking

1 x Duck (fresh not frozen).
1 x Cup freshly squeezed orange juice.
½ x Cup Soy sauce.
¼ x Cup dry sherry.
2 x Cloves of garlic (finely chopped).
1 x Tsp mustard powder.
4 x Thin slices of orange.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation

1. Combine the orange juice, soy sauce, sherry, garlic, mustard powder in a glass bowl and mix thoroughly.

2. Place the duck in the bowl and gently massage the mixture onto the bird. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least a few hours.

3. Remove the duck from the mixture and pierce the skin in several places (this will allow the fat to drain off whilst cooking). Lift the skin carefully and place the orange slices underneath on the breast (2 on each side).
Allow the duck to come up to room temperature.

4. Once the smoker is ready, water pan in and filled about ¾of the way, place the duck on the cooking grill.

5. Put the lid on (remember to open the lid vent fully) and add the wood of your choice to the charcoal, using the bottom access door.

6. Cook for about 4 hours at 220°F, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 75°C
