Beer can chicken—the first try

I've read so much about this way of cooking chicken, I just had to try it in the Kamado. I turned to Cook's Illustrated "Grilling and Barbecue" for instructions. The Cook's Illustrated recipe called for their "simple dry spice rub for poultry." I had tried this dry rub once before and determined that it wasn't to my liking, but like a fool, I decided to give it another chance. At any rate, preparing this dish was a kick, and the chicken was succulent. Unfortunately, the spice rub destroyed the effect for me. I'll try this one again, but next time with different seasonings.

The raw ingredients. The chicken has already been coated with the spice rub.

Barbecued beer anyone? No need to waste the good stuff; it's Rainier.

The chicken installed over the beer can. Giblets & sweet potatoes distributed around it.

Lookin' good!

The taste is a dissappointment, due to the spice rub. Home made pasta in the bottom left.
