I have enjoyed this recipe on my gasser many times and can't wait to try it on my WSM which is one state away via UPS currently.
My question is in regards to some sentiment that smoking chicken results in skin that is not crispy but rather rubbery.
Could you (has anyone) remove the water pan and smoke the beer can chicken that way? Still by using slow and low cooking but via direct heat.
As a newbie I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before (I looked but couldn't find anything on it exactly).
