Is the dome high enough to cook a beer can chicken sitting on the grids?

I doubt it, but there is no need. I cook chickens all the time on it by splitting the back and butterflying it. Much better since the breast meat cooks slower.

Absolutely...this grill can get a lot on it, the domed top allows things like a whole chicken. I love my grill, the only thing I'd caution you on is the heat....I don't see much of a difference between hi & med or low.

Quart jars fit in there fine for me. I can get 3 under the tall dome. I also sometimes use a big glass mixing bowl from my stand mixer. It also fits well.

About 2.25 inches at the center. The dome is rounded so you get even more clearance. Never really had a problem cooking chicken in it.

The cooking surface is quite adequate. Recently, Super Bowl Sunday we were having a party and I had two very large pots, one 20 quart and one 25 quart on the burners together and nom problem, one was steaming potatoes and corn on the cob, and the other was boiling shrimp. Kay Lowery

Probably not. The interior diameter is 12.5 inches and the distance from rack surface to the center top of the domed lid is 4.5 inches. I can get a whole small chicken in there if I squash it down a bit, but it's easier to cut the chicken in half or in pieces and place them around the rack surface. Just for a little extra info -- I do not add water to the reservoir because I don't like steamed meat. I do, however, leave the reservoir in the unit while cooking to catch any grease drippings - makes clean-up a little easier. Also, I know that the manufacturer recommends only using the special wood dust for smoking, but I use regular wood chips found at most stores. It gives a smokier flavor that my husband and I prefer. Just make sure you turn your exhaust vent on high or use it on an outdoor gas grill.

No. A beer can chicken . Ok. Not high enough to allow air to circulate for a turkey .

My review was "Weber 22 1/2" gold grill. I had too break almost every bone on the bird so it wouldn't hit the dome lid. I'm sure the chicken didn't mind but I did. I'll see in a hour or so if I can get the roaster out of the bird without pliers." That was a 4lb bird. The roaster is pretty tall. With that said, I would go with 1 of webers models

I don't really see how that could be done. It's shaped like a cone so you could sit the bird's cavity over it, so there wouldn't really be any way to prop a roast of beef or pork over it. I think it's only use is for chickens and turkeys.

Yes it would, I use my roaster as an oven, I have cooked ribs, roast, whole chickens, what ever will go into a oven or crock pot. Will be making Taco soup Sunday for super bowl in it. I love it.

Shirley, although we have not done 2 birds at once I think it would work just fine. I don't think you could do beer can chicken because there would not be enough height. Last Sunday I cooked 2 racks of pork ribs on the rotisserie (which is included) and they were wonderful. You will not be disappointed in your new grill.

Then you should be okay.... Maybe purchase the dome to keep spills to minimum. Good luck!!!

A large chicken can fit on top of this. It will fit n a stove. The chicken comes out really moist and delicious.

It definitely is not high enough to cook with. Its not anything like a barstool. I'd estimate is maximum height is less than 3 feet.

No the bottom is rectangular not round. With the spikes on it is about 5 1/2" tall and then add your chicken

I would think so. I use mine to make beer witch get the pot about 215F and this pot works well. I have never cooked any food or sauce in it tho.

It is not designed to be. It is not flat like the camp chef models. You could still use it as a griddle if you wanted to.
