Mortymoose's Weber & Buitebraai Offerings to the HO's Gods! - The Resurrection

thanks for the tip, but no. even if the beer does nothing. I just like them being upright, and cooked under an enclosure... this way I can stick a thermometer in them and come back when ready... much juicier as well.

Apart from being upright, which of those can't you do if you just spatchcock and leave out the can?

I don't love the idea of serious heat and the paint used on the can leaching into the meat I'm about to eat, personally. Like Randhir says, I don't really see how spatchcocking the chicken prevents you from doing any of the above.

So if I spatchcock it, indirect heat?

The beer chicken would've been over direct heat

Ya.. The only drawback I can see is that if you do you might not have enough space for them to lie flat off the flames as opposed to upright, depending on the size of the pumpkins.

You see, for the beer chicken i used it on my BuiteBraai™ and i have a special rigging that my old man in law made me for this purpose. Also, just quick skim in the link you provided, they use indirect heat... which I don't do, so i get heat directly on the beer, which causes definite steam and heat from the inside...

Bl@ksem you guys are getting waaaayyy to technical on this. I love my beer can chicken in the Weber indirect method, just as much as spatchcocked, or whole roasted or any other method. It's all about variety.
For me it works, and the liquid from the beer can or whatever can you decide to use definitely boils out and steams and helps to keep the meat moist. If you do it right it's delicious.

The article would disagree with a lot of what you say.

And yes, I like to get technical I find it makes me a better cook.

Also not mad about sticking a painted can up a dead flightless bird's cavity and then adding heat to the can.... As a beer drinker there should only be one purpose to a metallic can full of beer...

Got invited to a mates wife's birthday braai this afternoon.... She is about twenty years older than him....and he is my age, so not sure where this was going, humbly declined....

There is also a bitch cold wind howling up in these parts this weekend, not too sure what the plans after work might be today...

Oh! If any of you are experts at Xbox 360, Aurora, Jtag and Minecraft TU's .... let me know..... Been wasting the better part of 18 hours frustrated and in a sober mood trying to update TU59

Just finished prep. Fire lit

Morty will be happy to know they are filled with windhoek draught cans.

so do you agree with my direct heat method?

 

[RanzB]

I see what you did there...

I think there's merit to the method, but if you're asking if I'd subject something I'm going to eat to exposure with heated metal not necessarily suited for heat, and ink - or whatever else makes up a beer can - for a prolonged time, the answer is nope.
