first try at Beer can chicken tonight. My kids asked "did this come off that thing?"
They both said it was the best they ever had.
I am used the ceramic grill store reducing ring and the plate setter with one of the wire things from Home depot to prop up the bird.
seasoned liberaly with Mrs Dash original. Very tasty and Juicy. Thermometer in breast read 180, let it sit for 5 minutes,then carved, Thighs were just a bit red, but WOW the stories are right!
I love the indirect cook, and some neighbors made a comment that somethings smells pretty good coming off my deck.

I have a feeling your neighbors are going to be smelling lots of nice aromas this summer.

Treat your neighbors. Two Christmas' ago I gave away 20 in da hood. If you prop them right (use the can as one leg of a tripod and the two legs as the other two legs) you don't need the wire thingy and therefore don't have to clean it.
