Here is the full report. It even contains some trapshooting.
I used BRITU with some olive oil on the outside of the chickens and sprinkled it inside the bird per the regular beer can recipe found on this website. I used two of the WalMart holders with the ring at the base. Both chickens fit...
I wanted a slow cook and I am pumping along at 250 degrees right now. My internal temp has gone up to 118 in 45 minutes. I used BRITU with a teaspoon and a clove of garlic in each can.
I am getting ready to do two 4# plus chickens using a beer chicken recipe. I will be using a full pan of cold water. This will be my first beer can attempt on the WSM. Can anyone recommend how many chimneys of Kingsford I should use?
Thanks.
I noticed that WalMart has two styles of beer can chicken holders.
Is there a particular holder (WalMart, Menards, Home Depot) that works the best on the WSM grates and how many chickens will fit on each grate?
Tom: I see you have a Milwaukee location. I would suppose you will be watching some basketball Thursday. I am hauling my WSM up to my son's house near Appleton for some beer chicken on Friday for the Badger game. Hopefully both teams will be playing Saturday and Sunday.

This is an old thread but I have a question. Does the enamel on the edges chip off when hauling it assembled with bungees? Has anyone used a plastic barrel and set the WSM inside. I have thought about using a barrel strapped to my hitch-haul that mounts in the receiver hitch of my truck.
Any...
Just fired up my new WSM with a boned leg of lamb using a modified Minion method. I have the probe in and will see how this turns out. Lots of basketball today while I watch the temps. Had to shovel snow away next to the porch steps to set up.

I just received my new Smoky Mountain and I also ordered the Weber Remote Probe with it. Any comments/suggestions regarding this probe. It will be coming out of the package this weekend for our first smoke.
Thanks in advance.
