I am cooking Beer can chiken tomorrow and have 6 chickens. Do you think they will all fit on my large BGE or should I start up the old Weber? Do I cook them the regular time which is about 1 1/2- 2 hours depending on the internal temp?

    Saucy Sue,
    I have a rack that holds 8 and have cooked as many of 10 and didn't overload it, unless you have big chickens.

    Chef Wil, Oh
    :) You are right. They don't call me Saucy Sue for my bbq sauce( just kidding) I looked at that picture again and you are right. Too funny!! I thought that those necks were the tail. hee hee, my weekend company is here already, and we have started. Tonight it's planked Salmon um um um!!!
    I'm going to do all those chickens on my bge but it will take a 6 pack to do it. Cook I mean!! Well-- Someone's got to drain 1/2 of that beer out of those cans!!!!!
