Is there enough vertical cooking space for beer can chickens?

Don't know what that is. If vertical height less than 10-12 inches, probably ok.

I've never done it, however, I just checked the interior height and you have about 8" if you remove the back warming rack.

not sure. i built my own setup. the hole in the center of these takes a round 7/16 rod perfectly, with just a slight clearance for grease and skin etc. they are very nicely made and nice and long. i got six to do three chickens at once on my grill. make sure you put a pan of water under the chickens to catch grease so they don't flare up. i get the cheap ones from the dollar store and then just throw them out. make sure you string the wings and legs to the bird so they don't flop around. good luck to you!

I have 2 of these that I use to brew beer... They are heavy Duty and will work for pretty much everything you demand of them. Of course you could probably scald 6 to 10 at a time depending on size of chickens. Hmmmm makes me wonder.... Chicken Beer??

If you have a weber grill no need to worry. If you don't you need for a 5 lb. chicken 10" wide and at least 8 1/2 " in height.

I am roasting a 7.5 chicken on the vertical roaster as I write this. I am not sure the roaster would work with a bird much larger due to both the cavity size of the bird and the weight of the breasts causing an imbalance. I placed my chicken on the vertical roaster and put the vertical roaster in the bottom of another roasting pan and covered it with a foil tent in order to keep my oven clean. (I will remove the foil later to brown the bird.) I removed all but one oven rack and placed that rack on the next-to-lowest rack setting. From the bottom of the oven to the top of the foil tent is 16 inches. There is still plenty of room for air circulation above and below the chicken. Hope this helps.

There is enough room for frozen pizza. I can't find a chicken small enough for the rotisserie.

That shouldn't be a problem. I normally use indirect heat, so I cook 1 chicken with only 2 burners on.

I do not think you would be able to do that. When cooking a chicken you place the chicken over the tubed center (about 3" tall) of the dish. Inside that "tube" you ad liquid which steams up through the cavity of the chicken. Hope this helps you.

Yes, you can definitely do beer can chicken (I don't know how many of those we've done on our 22" Weber, but it's a lot!) As some others have answered, you can also do large turkeys (laying down) as well as large butt sections of hams.

I don't think that a turkey, even a small one, can be done on a beer ca stand. Turkey is just too long. But it can handle a chicken. I have done a split chicken and it cooks it good just have to keep it basted.

Each rack has about 21"x14" of useable space...eyeballing it, I'd say 6 chicken quarters per rack easily, maybe 8 if you stack closer together. MB also sells extra racks.

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.

Yes. You could fit 2 smaller chickens, like around 3 1/2 pound chickens. You could leave them whole to make a stock with. They would touch and your pot would be full, but you could do it. I would actually recommend buying the next size up if you want to boil two chickens on a regular basis.

Sure, this would work as a double broiler. Although, these mixing bowls are thin walled so heat transference will be quick. Good Luck.

Yes, there is no need to use beer can unless you want to do so. Just remember that if the chicken is big, some juices will drop outside. Thank you.

I haven't done it but it looks like a whole chicken would fit with room to spare but I'm not sure.

I think you will be more restricted by the clearance between your product and the grill surface. A whole chicken, trussed and centered properly, clears the grates fine. You're not going to be able to rotisserie a large Baron of Beef though.
