Rule of thumb is 30-40 min per pound at 240 to 300 deg. Put two 8-lb birds in about 1 hour ago and expect to hit 165-ish mid-afternoon. We'll see!

No... Just like duck on occasion.

I brined those ducks in a honey maple brine along with a 20 lb turkey. The turkey just went in the oven.

We had the ducks as an appetizer. I was really happy with how everything came out. I fired up my pit for the ducks and was pretty psyched that I was able to cook something a bit more "delicate" like these ducks with it. The smoke was just right and nailed the internal temps.

I placed tin baking pans underneath and caught all of the fat. I also made a stock out of the remaining carcasses, saved some of the stock and then added the collected duck fat to the remaining stock and am simmering that down into "cherry/apple smoked duck fat".

I was able to pick off enough meat after we ate that I am going to confit it with the fat and then, maybe tomorrow, make Duck Confit Hash.

6 racks of baby backs about to go in my smoker. None of that turkey business for me this year, just good old pork!

Look at this thing. It's the color of a pretzel. It was juicy and tender and perfect.

Here's the turkey I did today. It's a Cajun smoked turkey I used apple wood it was 12 pounds and it took 4-1/2 hours at 200 on my electric smoker ( I know electric smokers are cheating but I don't give a sh1t if its cheating it turned out awesome)
