    I love the soft camera work.

    I’m at that age where it’s most flattering.

    What temp can you get the WSM up to cook those chickens? I have problems keeping things stable above 325 or so.

    With a couple of chimneys of charcoal and all the vents wide open I can force it up to around 350 for long enough to cook them, but you’re right, no higher, so you don’t get any crispiness on the skin, unfortunately. I’ve read that some folks prop open the door and get a few more degrees that way.

    What, no beer cans or are you just getting bashful in your old age?

    I’ll bet they’re really “tender.”

    I actually only had bottles, Dave!

    They were quite tasty, Kate!

    That would appear to be quite the meal. And I would just happen to be starving this morning.

    I’m ashamed to admit it, but I usually do the “beverage can” chicken on a gas grill. Do you use regular briquettes or are you using lump charcoal?

    While confessing, I’ll allow that I’ve even used O’Doul’s – to no ill effect. But I think Coke works well too. Alas for me, gone are the days of going through three or four brands of beer in order to find the right one…

    Mark I usually use my gasser as well; as Cullen alluded to above it’s just hard to get the smoker hot enough. On my smoker I use the kingsford comp briqs when I want high temps and the regular blue bag k when I’m smoking the pork for a gazillion hours.

    Honestly I’ve never noticed a difference in the flavor regardless of what I happened to have in the can…beer, beer spiked with a lot of leaa and perrins, soda, or even no can at all.

    I see from a more recent post you now posses the perfect grill for beer can chicken!
