I was thinking about that last year.  Is there a brine that's better than others to soak them in?

i usually slice the breasts into three 1/4" or so peices and brine and smoke them into jerkey.  Its awesome.  use alder or apple flavored chips.

What do you use for the brine? Brown sugar like salmon?

the best i've found is the dry brine by hi-country........the one in the green box.  i'll try and find a link somewhere.

try this one.......i'm sure any of these will do.  I used the original jerky mix and its great.  didn't realize they have one for game birds too ...might have to try it out.

Thanks Hillbilly!  My wife doesn't like duck/goose so I'm trying to figure out a way that I can make it that she'll eat.  I end up having to eat all the waterfowl that I get myself.

It's like that when I have grouse - she'll eat it out of the pan.  She just doesn't like waterfowl.

Smoked is the only way to do duck imo,I have a book on birds from S.Dakota"wing shooters guide to South Dakota upland birds and Waterfool"by Ben O. Williams and Chuck Johnson,covers everything you ever wanted to know,but were afraid to ask about feathered vertebrates.The important thing to know about duck is not to over cook it,think of it more like steak than chicken.They say to hang the ducks for several days after you gut them."Hang in a cold dry place for a few days,with temp never above 60 f. I hang mine in the frig for 3 days,then skin them,freeze or cook. As far as marinade I use orange juice,wish bone Italian dressing,soy sauce and cheap dry red wine,over night.Next day rap em up in bacon using tooth picks and put them on a hot grill til the bacon is almost getting crispy,this can take up to 20 min depending on duck to fire ratio! Next knock the fire to one side of the grill,add some smoking chips and onion skin,put the ducks on the other side of grill on some foil,baste with OJ garlic and a little butter if you like and go watch the superbowl until the fire goes out and the smoke clears!! Duck should be cooked  medium well,always a little pink in the middle...Most people hate duck,because when it's over cooked it's tuff and has a liver like wild flavor!! Some ducks taste better than others,depending on age,species and diet!..If you over cook em,make gumbo!
