Duck jerky on a WSM?

To store the dodgers I usually just wrap them in a paper towel, or you could use a dishtowel or something not airtight, and leave them setting on the counter. If I seal them up in a plastic baggie they seem to gather moisture after awhile and don't last as long as stored where they can "breathe". My last batch of beef jerky I made quite awhile back is in a sealed mason jar though. YMMV.
 
Jerky should be its own food group! Glad you had great success with your first duck. I keep the marinades simple anymore, something out of a bottle at the grocery store - Teriyaki, etc. Even parts soy sauce, Worcestershire, beer, some salt and Tabasco to taste is very good too.
 
This took me about 5.5 hours. I aimed for the 170º mark, sometimes plummeting to 150º and sometimes spiking to the 190º range. With all the inconsistencies in temp, I just kept a watchful eye and checked the pliability of the jerky every so often.
