While the Holiday Ham was smoking away on the Stoven, our son got the MAK out so my wife could bake another one of her delicious Pumpkin Pie Layered Cheesecakes. Her mom's in town from Florida for the holidays and loves cheesecake (yay for me too!).

Applewood Smoked Duck for Christmas Dinner
A 6.5 lb duck spatchcocked then scored (to release the fat while cooking) and simply seasoned only with some salt, pepper & dried rosemary.
Onto the MAK at 275° - Apple Pellets.
Later a dish of wheat & cornbread stuffing was added (I love how stuffing tastes when done on the grill).
The duck was pulled at an I.T. of 165°. It smelled as good as it looked!
Time to eat! Plated up with some roasted taters, the stuffing and some of the Holiday Ham.
I used BP's turkey carving tips to get these beautiful slices of duck breast. The duck was very rich and succulent. Even my daughter who doesn't like duck in Chinese restaurants, loved this. The gravy was made from the duck fat and broth made from the trimmings & giblets. It was also rich & delicious.
I barely had room for dessert, but somehow manage a piece anyway!
Needless to say, we were stuffed. Thanks for sneaking a peek!
