Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Duck
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Rinse the Pekin duck under cold water and pat it dry. Season the inside and outside of the duck generously with salt and black pepper.
Prepare the Apples
Core and slice the Gala apples into wedges. In a bowl, toss the apple wedges with golden apple balsamic vinegar, pink peppercorns, and prickly ash. Set aside to marinate.
Smoke the Duck
Place the applewood chips in the smoker box. Once the smoker is ready, place the duck on the grill grates, breast side up. Smoke the duck for approximately 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve
Remove the duck from the smoker and let it rest for 15 minutes. Serve the smoked duck with the marinated Gala apples on the side.
