my first chicken on rack on top of 1/2 steam tray direct 350 perfect kids thought it was undercooked as it was so moist. no plate setter, no water in pan, no thermopen at the time

A large roaster in my small. It came out great!

Now, that looks like a tight fit.

Good thing about chickens is it leaves room for other things

This is not vulgar, OK? Are you asking for beer butt chicken pictures or splatcocked chicken pictures? Both methods work well on your BGE and produce eggcellent results.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

How about two whole chickens:
Or two whole chickens and two taters ala RRP:

You can also do a spatchtom (aka butterflied turkey):

Having a bit of experience with both "beer can" and spatchcock, I much prefer spatchcocking. It's especially therapeutic to rip that backbone and neck off with my trusty 9" chef's knife.
Grrrrrrrrrrr......
Oh -- You mean cooking it....?

Thanks guys. I see that some of you prefer to spatchcock chicken over beer can chicken on the BGE. Any reason why. I was under the impression that BC chicken was more tender than SC chicken. After cooking regular chicken on the BGE last night, I wonder if that will change when I cook these whole chicken guys

I have done them both ways and I prefer the "beercan" chicken to the spatchcock. probably only because it's slightly easier? But to each his own. Lots of folks prefer to do spatchcock. I no longer use the beer can but instead use a vertical roaster. It's a lot more stable.
Removing a falling-apart chicken from the grill with a half-full beercan stuck to it's butt can get quite tricky. On more than one occasion beer was spilled on the coals and when it happens, the can is too hot to pick up with your bare hands. You have to put down the chicken and use the tongs to pick up the can, which is probably empty by the time you get to it. -
