Welcome to the forum from Minnesota! Pretty much anything and everything is smoked on here, so TNJAKE has good advice! Just ask a specific question and someone on here will be along with help.
 
Has Jeff or anyone here smoked game meat like duck or deer? If so any suggestions?
I smoke deer meat. Deer meat is lean. I usually inject it. ( I smoke the hindquarters of the deer) I smoke it low n slow. 225 pit temp. For a hindquarter it takes 10-14 hours. I deli slice it for sammichs.
Here is a recipe for you:
DEER MEAT INJECTION
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 cups beef stock
Mix well until salt and sugar dissolves.
This makes enough to inject 30lbs of meat. So, adjust accordingly.

I inject and set it in the fridge overnight. I also put a rub on the deer meat. I usually use my favorite bbq rub…KOSMOS rub. They have some good stuff.
Place the deer meat in a foil pan with more beef stock and place on the smoker at 225 for 10 hours. Turns out good.

Looks so good!
 
What do you all do for duck. I'm not an avid hunter...but I'll go out for ducks once in a while. Can't say duck is my favorite though...
