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?

Re: Beer can chicken holders
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).

Re: Beer can chicken holders
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.

Re: Beer can chicken holders
Gave it another go today. Still needs to be split down the center, the larger is for the big birds.

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!

Re: Beer can chicken holders
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..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000TPCZY/sr=1-2/qid=1151062121/ref=pd_bbs_2?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=kitchen
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

Hey guys,
Found a weber product that seems to be right up my ally, plus easy to clean:

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...
