Beer can chicken holders

Had two of these made today for a test run . After I got home I decided that the 2'' tubes may not be wide enough so I'll go back and have some 3'' cut and see how it works out. I also may need to shorten the sides or drill several 3/4 '' holes in the base.

Opinions?

I like em like that.



They are made by a friend of mine.

Show off!

Looks like I have some refining to do there marco.lol Are those 2'' tubes?

I have them with 2" and 2 1/2 " Tubes. Any bigger than that is a major PITA for the chicken

I also have one 3 1/2 " tube for turkey, goose and roadrunners (someday ill get him).

Mine are 2'' and I was considering something larger for a turkey but I only cook them on Christmas. ( A free bird is included with our bonus at work) I do need to trim the plates smaller but that's something I can do at home. What are you working with, a six inch base?

Do you find it obviously easier to clean the 2 1/2.

Gave it another go today. Still needs to be split down the center, the larger is for the big birds.

DR,

Any updates? How about using a cornish hen on them?

That would work too I may have a smaller one made and try it out.
I have used thes ecountless times one the last few months with great success. The clean up nice and easy too.

Do you know of anyone that sells these? I would love to use one on a cornish hen, one for me and one for the wife. The leftovers should be fantastic!

You can use any beer can. Weber offer one but I don't know if it's stainless. I googled and found this one on Amazon..

There are several differant types ut there but I like these because the base is so secure.

Try one of these.. http://www.probbq.co.uk/Accessories.html

Thanks. I hope this will fit a cornish hen.

Only if you like to have more toys. Otherwise I have found the following method to work well (this isn't my chicken though)...


If you want to get a little more fancy-schmancy, add the following underneath it...
