Have not tried this because of concerns about paint and aluminum. I wonder if the same flavor could be achieved by marinating the bird in beer for 24 hours? My BBQ Sauce for Amateurs would go nicely on this! Thanks for a great video!

@AnotherAmateur Worry no more :) There is a stainless steel device designed by BBQ master, Steven Raichlin, and available on Amazon that will take away all of your concerns. I would love to post the link but YT is preventing me. Do a search and you should have not trouble finding it. Thanks for the feedback. -Kirk

GO KIRK GO! That thermometer tip was wonderful! I would have never thought to do that outside on the grill. When you're outside you're having fun not paying attention...excellent tip!

[Egcuisine]

@Candiceseesu you can absolutely do this in an oven. Set it to 350 degrees fahrenheit and you're good to go.

What was the temperature of the grill?

[NoTimeToCookDinner]

Anywhere between 35 and 375 will work fine.

While people have been doing this for years, I can't say that heated painted aluminum is the best thing for you. If you have worries, certain cooking stores sell unpainted stainless steel versions.

isnt the metal from the can poisonous once it gets hot? just wondering here

nice vid btw looks soooooo tasty

[Egcuisine]

Zombie, absolutely right about the variance in grills, as well as the usefulness of aluminum foil. In terms of the beer adding flavor to the chicken, I'm a romantic so don't spoil it for me :)

[ZombiedustXXX]

His grill has a lot of venting in the top. Many beer-can birds get burnt breasts because they collect too much heat in the top of the covered grill.

Don't be afraid to cover the top of the bird loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil, until the final browning stage. Every grill is different, of course.

I think the beer in the can for flavor is largely a hoax. I drink the beer and use water instead. Make up your own minds as far as that goes. :)

Classic! I always wanted to know how this was done. Thank you for the excellent instructions.
