Interesting this popped up again, I was planning on trying the Beer can chicken recipe in the very near future in my newly built smoker.
This was my latest construction project. I built a hot smoker out of an 18G keg to start doing american style BBQ, I've smoked chicken pieces and sausages so far (only had it running for about 2 weeks) and looking to try some brisket and ribs and beer can chicken soon as well.
Have a look, built from an 18G (80L) keg, I know-should have made a kettle out of it but this is another worthy cause. I intalled an electric coiled hot plate element, 0-110C thermostat and water bowl, racks etc. All fully stainless. Works great. You just throw on some hickory, mesquite, apple wood etc into a pan on the element, close the lid and let it run till done.
So far its cooked some lovely meals, can't wait to get a bit more adventurous and have the time to do a 8-10hr brisket and explore some more rubs and marinades.
