Ready to cook Spachcock chicken and realized I the directions calls for direct ELEVATED grid. I have no bricks...any suggestions

I gather you don't have a plate setter? How about using three empty tin cans?
-
Jeffersonian, I do have a place setter.[p]

If you don't need to elevate the grill any higher than the length of the place setter's legs, try using it with the legs pointed down. If you need even more height, try three empty condensed milk cans.

Bob,
I think it is just fine to cook the bird indirect too. So just use the plate setter to get the elevated grid.

Jeffersonian, Thanks

BlueRidge, Thanks will do.

Bob,
the plate setter would make it an indirect cook, roasting basically. fine t do, but if he wants spatchcocked (splayed open and grilled), the platesetter is literally in the way.[p]no harm in doing spatchcocked chicken on the regular grid level. maybe take temps down to 375-400, but it shouldn't flare or be a problem anyway.[p]nice to have it higher, but not necessary.[p]
