I'm gonna give this a go on Sunday for mothers day. Wish me luck.

I dont have a wok burner so I think i'll heat the wok over coals in the weber kettle then use some of the remaining coals to heat the bottom of the GA for the smoking.

When you smoke the duck are you after a temp or just more like cold smoke?

I just quickly came up with an idea to help boil a wok full of water over the coals and gave it a test run.

I lit about half a chimney of old coals and gave it a run, it got to boiling but only just, couldn't get a rapid boil so I'll either do this part of the cook inside on the stove or I'll just add more coals

I've prepped the duck and it's hanging in the beer fridge. I dunno if this will be ok or should it hang at room temp?

A question for Shane or anyone else who can answer.
What is the reason for the first cooking step of boiling the duck in plain water?

Is it necessary or would the simmering in stock stage be adequate?

And a comment about my experience.
I followed the cooking times closely but found the duck still pink inside so had to microwave it for 5 minutes to finish it off properly.
