    bone stock save for the block lift that came on it with the open country m/t.
    I made this a while back and will make it again this week and let you know how it goes. For this recipe you will need

    1 chicken, size doesn't matter ( or does it:D)
    1 24 oz beer, half empty
    1 grill preferably charcoal
    some wood for cooking, either hickory or oak, it doesn't matter
    chicken rub (make your own, or if you want one, I will post later)

    preheat the grill to 250 degrees. place chicken on beer can, I find that the bigger the beer can the easier the chicken sits up, kind of like a tripod. place the chicken away from the heat source (indirectly) cook chicken for 4 hours until meat is 180 degrees, use meat thermometre to check for doneness. The meat will pull apart, there is no need to cut it. This is something I thought up myself, try it, and let me know how it goes. cheers

    Actually, this has been around for a long time now. They sell the holders (for the beer can) at many stores that sell BBQ accessories...and yes, it is very tasty too.....;)

    Walmart sells the can holder chicken stands for about $3. Beer can chicken is always a hit here. I've made them with beer, apple juice and italian dressing. Comes out really moist and tasty.

    I think that depends on what you're soaking your wood in. :)
