re: need recs for duck gumbo

I would smoke them for about an hour and half or so @ 225. You're not trying to cook them thru all the way, just looking to impart some smoke flavor. How many depends on what duck you have and size of gumbo you're shooting for. 3-4 mallards would produce a fair amount of meat for a normal sized gumbo. I like to use pecan. I'm sure hickory or red oak would work as well..
