Quite a while back, I bought a "6-pack" beer can chicken holder on ebay. I want to get one for a friend, but can't find anyplace that's making them.
Anyone have a lead?
The chorus line is always fun:

Thanks in advance.
Can't help you but I like it!!!! I only have a double holder.

Can't help ya either Consigs...but they are cute little suckers!!! You must be so proud!!! :)
Yeah, it's really a fun novelty. Kids like to see the "girls" dancing (Heck, who doesn't ;)) and the meal is pretty good too. Throw in a couple of adult beverages and everyone, particularly Consiglieri, is happy.
If I find a lead, I'll post it. Looks like I'll need to find someone with some metal working skills for a custom job.
Con...that would be cool to have cuz I never seem to have enough chicken with just one or two stands!!
Thanks, TT. I've had a lot of fun with it, but I wish there was a bit more space between birds. Most of the roasters here are around 5 pounds; without the space, hard to get enough warm air between them (circulation fan?).
If I find a lead, I'll post.
Try a local black smith shop to duplicate it. Also put your "birds" on back-to-back to get better circulation.

Not as cool as your six pack one, but I just got back from home depot I always have to go through the BBQ section and scored ChickCan racks by Bayou Classic 2.99 a pop and four fit perfect on a rack!!!! I guess I better go pick up some yardbirds ;D !!!!

Con, do you cook those in the smoker or on a grill. Ive just always done em on a grill and they work great but i wonder if they would work in the bradley. I know the meat would get done but I love the crispy skin and dont think that would come out too good????? ??? ???
I use it on the grill, with a foil pan with some water under the grates. That evens out the temp and helps prevent against flare ups. I'll use a wood chip box over the heat to get some smoke flavor. With chicken I only like a little smoke anyway; bird really hangs on to that smoke flavor. And a little too much is just plain too much to me.
Quite a few here will do a beer butt chicken in the Bradley, but I haven't. I think you're right about the skin. You could always apply smoke for a while and then transfer to the grill to finish off the bird.
Yea the skin on the bird is almost like the bark from smoking which at times I almost perfer over the meat!! ;D

Hey Consig,
When you do it on the grill, I assume you're not using direct heat or is that an incorrect assumption?
Thanks!

Mr. Duck:
When I use the 6 pack, I put a foil water pan underneath, which results in moderated, indirect heat. All burners on but the infrared. When I do a single one, I just turn on the left and right burners and cook indirectly.
Thanks Consig.......and Mr. Duck is my father ;D ;D ;D

Actually, kind of a funny story there. The "Mr." is overcompensation on my part. Was just the baby and me all weekend long, so we'd see doggies, kitties, etc. You were almost "Duckie" and when I caught myself, I realized there just wasn't enough testosterone behind that word. I corrected myself. ;D
I actually prefer Duckie to Mr. Duckie. Chicks dig sensitivity and in my day, I'd attract more women than a Macy's sale :o However, it only lasted one day and I'm married to her now ;D

sensitivity, :-\ now thats a big word - ??? guess I will give it a try. Bald head and well rounded belly is not working ;D
WCK,
I lost my hair right around the time I got married (Gee, you think there's a connection?). Anyways, I always tell people that grass doesn't grow on a playground. But, I guess if needed, I could do a hell of a combover with the hair on my back ;D
Remember, it's just a solar panel for a secks machine (had to fool the computer filter there). I had hair when I needed it. Now that I'm married, I'd just be pulling it out anyways, so I figure Mother Nature saved me a step. :D
Anyways, you know why married men die before married women? Because they want to. ;)
:(
I should have stated that I'm sure it would have been different with you, LQ ;) ;D
I kid because I care. :D
;D ;D :-X

Do you mind? I get enough of that line on Sundays from Johnny Roberts. ;D ;D
I don't mind, but who in the heck is Johnny Roberts? ???
Whoops, :o I meant Chris Meyers, From the Fox Sports racing broadcast team.
Roberts is on "Raceday Presented by the Home Depot" on Speed...Wendy Venturini calls him Johnny.
Carry on.
That's why I've never heard of him.....can't stand racing. Now, I don't mind them when I'm on the toll road trying to get to Chicago, but I'd rather watch grass grow than racing. Now, I'm not trying to start a war here. I know there are plenty of folks who like racing and that's cool. Different strokes for different folks.
That's cool. I understand that my passion is not everybody elses. I've never watched a Hockey game either...so I guess that makes us even. :D
