Attaching it to the spit:

  • You need a skewer, two chicken prongs, butcher’s twine, and toothpicks.
  • Pass the skewer through the duck while trying to keep the best possible balance for the weight on the skewer.
  • Put one chicken prong through each side of the duck and secure it tightly.
  • Use butcher’s string and toothpicks if you’re having difficulties securing the bacon to the duck.

Cooking time:

The time it requires to cook will depend on a variety of factors; however, to be safe, allow about 3 hours. You may always move the charcoal to the side and raise the duck to the top of the spit roaster if it’s ready a little earlier to keep it warm without actually continuing to cook. When the internal temperature reaches 75 degrees using a cooking thermometer, the food is cooked.
