1. Remove the duck from the packaging. Then remove the giblets from inside the duck and; discard. Rinse the duck inside and out under cold running water, pulling out any extra fat or cut bits from the body cavity.
2. Combine the brown sugar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, orange zest and juice, beer and water in a 6-quart stockpot and bring to a boil over high heat. When the brine comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool completely.

1. The early prep takes place about a week before you plan to smoke your duck. First, you wash the duck (or ducks!) and remove any excess fat from the body, leaving the skin intact.
2. The secondary preparation takes place one day before you mean to smoke your duck. First, rinse your duck with cool water and then blot dry. It’s important that the duck be entirely dry by the time it is smoked.Tip: If you feel you have the time for it, instead of entirely drying your duck off with towels, at this point you can place the duck on a wire rack in the refrigerator and let it air dry for 24 hours. If you have less time, you can blow dry the duck with a hairdryer on a low temperature. This gives you a crispier skin.
3. Remember to leave yourself plenty of time before you want to eat, as smoking a duck can take a long time- this recipe asks for your duck to be in the smoker at varying temperatures for seven hours. There are a variety of ways to smoke a duck, but for this recipe we’re going with hot smoking, which cooks faster than some of the other options, and is best for beginners.
4. Preheat your oven to 350° F, and place the duck on an elevated war rack, and then place the rack into a pan. The pan needs to be at least an inch deep, in order to hold the melted fat!
