beer can chicken

[Dave Ellison]

I have a Weber 22.5 one-touch and unfortunately the distance from the top grate to the top of the dome won't accommodate a beer-can chicken. Any ideas on a feasible alternative would be appreciated. --Dave Ellison

Try taking the cooking grate off and setting the can chicken on the charcoal grate. Keep your coals way off to one side. Might set the chicken in a small foil pan when you set em on the charcoal grate....do not want any chance of a grease fire.

You can also get a WSM...

You need the BBQ Stacker from http://cajunbandit.com/

Sounds like a good plan. Thanks.

Looks like a great product, but it's a bit pricey. Thanks for the tip.

beer can chicken is a waste of time and beer

I normally spatchcock a chicken, but I wanted to try something different. Thanks for the response.

How big are the chickens you are cooking? I've done many 4-5 pounders and they fit fine.

I too have done BCC on my OTS. I use to have those beer can holders,but I found that it was too tall to use on the OTS. I simply use the beer can and chicken legs as a tripod and cook away!

This will work for you and you don't have to use a Smokenator just keep your coals up against the outside and use a pan to catch the drippings. You could even use a fire brick to hold the coals. I would recommend a one time rotation. This was a 10lb Butter Ball and as you can see a little tight on the top but it worked out well. A chicken would be easy.
