This is my very first beer can chicken. I am so happy it came out great! I am already planning to do another one.

Cmon Tony, I've been watching you cook since 2006 and this is really your first beer can chicken??
Looks like you did it on the char griller... what did you use for heat, and how long??

Tony I went to the Mike Mills BBQ Cooking School a couple of weeks ago and he said something I had never thought of. He said that most people just take a can of beer, pour out a little and then stick the chicken over it and put it on the cooker. He stated that the only problem with this is that the chicken is usually done before the beer starts to steam or boil. He pre-heats the beer in the cooker and once it is hot and steaming he stabs the chicken down on the beer can and puts it on the cooker.

Yep, I cooked it on the CG Smokin' Pro. I started with about a half chimney of Kingsford to get a good fire started then I ran the whole cook with oak logs. It took about 5 hours because I kept going in the smoker for sausages that I cooked too; otherwise, I'm thinking it would have been more like 4 hours. I tried to keep the temps at around 250-275 but the last hour I went to about 300 to get it done. It was a pretty big bird and opening the smoker frequently was dragging things out.
