Soak ducks in milk for 4 to 5 hours. Take ducks out of milk. Salt and pepper inside and out. Cut up apples and onions. Use a pit that cooks with smoke only. Put ducks on pit and cook slowly with smoke from fire until ducks are tender. Add hickory chips to fire for flavor. Make a marinating sauce of melted butter, red wine, salt, and pepper. Baste ducks often while cooking. Cook 2 to 4 hours, depending on size of ducks and temperature of fire.
