Since I'm using an electric smoker (the same kind that Kevin has) to cook my turkey and duck, I think spatchcocking at least the turkey is a great idea.

Maybe that will equalize the cooking times of the birds a bit. I plan to keep the duck on the top rack so it bastes the turkey with its drippings.

I think I'm going to set the smoker up on bricks so I can use a foil tray to collect the drippings at the drain tube. I think cooking a turkey and a duck at the same time may overfill the drain pan that came with the smoker.

What do you think Powerpig? Should I spatchcock both birds or just the turkey?
