Help. We're having a party this weekend and my wife wants me to cook four beer can chickens. It looks like all four will fit on my large BGE. We just stopped by the Dizzy Pig store in Manassas, VA and bought Tsunami Spin, Raging River, Cow Lick and original course grind. I'm thinking of cooking two with Raging River and two with Tsunami Spin.
Here's where I need the help. It looks like the four birds will fit on the BGE. Can I cook all four at the same time? How long should these cook and at what temp? Thanks!!!

Stuckman, I do 4 beer can method birds on my lg. all the time. Indirect on a raised grid at 350 for about 80 minutes. I use 5+pound birds so don’t worry about room. Just be careful about how much wood you use for smoke cause chicken really can get Smokey in a hurry. Good luck

Don't soak and add whenever you want. I add right before I add the meat.

Yes, we do it direct or indirect. No need for a raised grid with the platesetter in...IMO.
Beware lots of chicken fat in the cooker for this cook, can be quite flamable with the dome open.
