Answer: Beer-can BBQ chicken
Thanks for all your great ideas. Ming was closest and Pplater nailed the details, including the recipe. This is indeed a stand to produce beer-can BBQ chicken.
Place half a can of beer (yes, you get to drink the other half) in the rack, slide the chicken over the whole contraption, rub with olive oil, salt and pepper (or other spices according to taste) and roast in the BBQ for about 60 minutes at 180-200oC. Crispy skin and wonderfully moist meat that falls off the bone.
Next is BBQ duck a l’orange with a can of Fanta! I will report back.

Collectively you are on the right track …

Ooh a wine stacking system..?
Do the 4 smaller holes fit over 4 bottles then one more bottle in the top..? Like a champagne Xmas tree..? Andy.
This might help ...

This, dear friend, is the chicken's nightmare. Once the can of beer is opened, it is rudely inserted into a (now deceased, beheaded and plucked) chicken. The chicken is stood upon its new gantry, it is smeared in oil and a range of spices before being pla...
So that is the secret ingredient!
We do bbq beer-brats (bratwurst soaked in beer) but haven't tried this chicken. They sell a similar beer can chicken apparatus so I guess I should try it when the weather out here gets better. BTW, do you do propane or charcoal? -MW

I use both charcoal and propane, but this chicken was cooked on propane. A

Excellent...
I should have realised as I have a Weber BBQ and they do the same attachment too :) Do you find it makes a difference as I get great tender chicken just putting it on the grill... falls off the bone, better than from my oven in fact..! Does it impart any ...
Rotisserie
The rotisserie on the Weber is also excellent, particularly if you use the smoke box. But beer can chicken is amazingly moist. The skin is much the same as it is kept out of the juices in both methods. And with the propane Weber you have the additional he...
This is one of mine...
I love to cook on te BBQ all summer if I can (weather in England..!!) and after getting my new BBQ last year chicken is a favourite...just oil it and whack it on the griddle, shut the lid on minimum and 90 minutes later you get this.... The cast iron grid...
BBQ's and recipes
Looks great, Andy. We should do a separate thread on BBQ variations and technique and favourite recipes. Keep an eye out. Andrew
Sounds good to me...
This year I'd like to try much more on the BBQ, fish is also great but I'm not actually a big meat person so steaks are out but burgers and sausages are in..! Its a texture thing..! Roll on summer :) Yours, Andy.

Andrew, I just finish my lunch but your pictures make me want more! I live in Paris and the least we can say is that it's not easy to make BBQs here :/ I miss them. Cheers, Mark
