I had a Republican Luncheon at my restaurant this week.  Our Attorney General was the speaker. Around 125 showed up.  I served Pot Roast, Beer Can Chicken, Fried Catfish, a slew of side dishes, and of course our awesome salad bar.  I do a lot of work for the Republicans.  I'm pretty conservative, but they know I'm a member of the Green Party.  If you have enough green, then I'll throw you a party.

I just got my new cooker, and I can't stop using it. 

Prepped and ready.  That's chicken living the High Life.  No queer beer here.

Loaded and loaded.

Isn't that a beautiful piece of equipment?  Its the first piece of equipment I've ever bought new.  I'm the bottom feeder of restaurant equip.  I buy things when everyone else is done with it.  This was custom made for me, and I couldn't be more pleased.

Ready to come off at 160 degrees.  Some of them look a little drunk and passed out.

I could have rubbed them down more, but overall they turned out great.  Any way that I can get alcohol into a bunch of stuffy Republicans, I will.
 
They look grea,t and I love the looks of that cooker!

For what it's worth ... I plug the chicken 'neck hole' with an onion now.  My thought process is to keep the beer steam in the bird cavity.

That's an awesome idea. Next time, I'm plugging the neck hole. Thanks.
Whatcha' Sayin'??? That is a great idea. I'm doing that next time, thanks GoFish. Everything looks great Scoochdude, love the rig.

What's the best beer to use? I just slap Bud Lights in cause they're on hand...always...James
 
I use what ever beers on hand, I always add something to the beer can. 

I take a huge swig of the beer, then remove the entire can top and season the beer with a big tablespoon of rub or cajun seasoning (maybe an onion quarter).  Then 'seal' the neck hole. 

I believe these ideas were stolen from a BBQ show ...
