Pit Boss Pellet Smoker/Grill How To Cook A Beer Can Chicken

Hey everyone! In this video I show how to cook a beer can chicken. One thing I need to note is if you’re gonna be using a beer can holder like I used in the video a tall boy can doesn’t work cause the chicken sits a little bit to high and sticks up out of the grill not letting you close the lid, so use a regular sized can. If not using the holder the tall boy can should work great for you if that’s what you have to use. Hope this helps everyone out. Hit the subscribe to see more content coming soon.

New friend here from Vermont. Great to see to see that you are keeping it real cooking out in the snow!!!!

[@paulsq_]

All the time in the winter I cook outside in the snow. I get quite a bit of snow where I am in Ontario Canada so it’s normal for me. Thanks for watching and joining my channel

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

That bird looked juicy and fall apart tender. I like the stand, I’ve knocked over a few beer can chickens over the years. Great job Paul!

[@paulsq_]

Thanks Pickles! It sure was a great cook and everyone loved it. I’ve knocked over a few chickens too that’s why my wife got me the holders lol

[@CGBS4744]

You forgot the Woooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Great looking beer can chicken. Who doesn't love a butter bath???? That was one juicy chicken. Happy to hear that everybody enjoyed it. I have got to make some more Bastard Rub soon. I have almost all of the spices for a new batch, just need to pick up a couple more. RTFO!!! GB

[@paulsq_]

I did forget that, next time I’ll get it right. That butter adds a nice touch. Everyone loved the Bastard Rub. I’m hoping this is the last week of cold snowy weather for the season. Don’t go out and wipe out on ice again brother, hope that’s feeling better now

[@Danfoodforest]

[@CarlaEShow]

Stopped by my friend very nice channel

[@paulsq_]

Thank you Carla. I showed you some love too

[@SGB_72]

Just curious, when you put on your chimney stack, how did you close off the holes in the back of the grill. Great videos by the way.

[@paulsq_]

Hey Tyranus, thanks for the kind words. I just used the foil tape that’s used in houses to seal duct work. That seems to be working great. Thanks for watching and your question

[@SGB_72]

Paul’s Q ok, thanks for the reply. Look forward to more videos.

[@Ntsu345]

Well I know what am cooking for sunday

[@RichieColemanSr]

Great video. What is the foil for?

[@paulsq_]

I use the foil only for an easier cleanup. It serves no other purpose. Thanks for watching

[@RichieColemanSr]

@@paulsq_ Thanks for responding. Does it stop your grill from heating up properly?

[@paulsq_]

It doesn’t stop the grill from heating up properly at all. It doesn’t give off any extra heat either. It just save you time from having to scrape and clean the deflector plate when you go to clean out the ash from the fire pot.

[@mariopowah01]

Hey Paul! Chicken came out great I see. How long did you have it cooking for at 150 and at 350?

[@paulsq_]

Thank you Mario! I had it cook for about an hour at 250 then the last half hour at 350 to crisp up the skin. Total cook time on this one was hour and a half. You want an internal temp of 165 in the thighs. So cook time may very depending on size of the bird. I like cooking my chickens to about 100-110 degrees before I raise the temp up to crisp the skin and finish the cooking.

[@mariopowah01]

Paul’s Q Thank you Paul! I’ll be trying this today on my pit boss.

[@aarona2625]

do you have foil under your grates?

[@paulsq_]

Yes I do. I foil over the deflector plate/ heat shield just so it makes for easier cleanup after the cook.

[@BBQJOE]

Nice juicy bird..! Just the way I like them..

[@paulsq_]

Thanks Joe. It was delicious.

[@vibewithvalarie]

Watched the full video.

[@daddydutchbbq]

Pauly great video ! But you need to work on the " cheers big ears " you sounded nothing like GB !....lol

[@paulsq_]

Thanks Kent! I know I need to work on that more lol. Cheers brother

[@merlinvestibule]

If you’re lookin, you’re not cookin. Get that lid closed! How long did it take to recover when you put the chicken on? Y’all are cooking in the snow...

[@paulsq_]

It doesn’t take long to recover in temp. I open the lid a lot and it stays open longer then I’d like but to make these videos you have to learn how to adjust to that as people wouldn’t be interested in watching if you just show putting a piece of meat on and never lifting the lid to check the progress until time to pull the meat off. Cooking in the snow is not making any big difference from cooking in the sunny summer months.

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

Oooooo...... butter. I like butter.

[@paulsq_]

Butter is a great baste you can season the butter with whatever you like when you melt it down to add more flavor. Thanks for watching

[@DrunkGrilling]

nice looking bird, peta will be angry shoving a beer can up a chicken's ass is animal cruelty lol. good video Paul, i will be doing some cold smoked, then hot smoked cherry coke alantic salmon today.

[@paulsq_]

Lol thanks. The smoked salmon sounds good can’t wait to see how that turns out. Cheers brother

[@Ntsu345]

Put some lemon pepper on it next time beer can chicken is awesome

[@paulsq_]

Thanks Monte! I would put some lemon pepper on it but the kids don’t like the taste of it, so I’ve got to stick with what they like and ask for.

[@yourstrulydahhhling]

Hello! I’m from Mickey XOXO’s live stream. New friend here now 🛎✅. I’d love to have you join my family. Nice video! That chicken looks good. 👌🏻

[@yourstrulydahhhling]

Thank you.

[@michaelparrish1968]

I guess I'm the only one who caught that

[@michaelparrish1968]

Don't eat the breast it's not done at 157 chicken must be at 165 to be considered safe to eat

[@brent6454]

Great video. Save some gloves and just wash your hands after!

[@richardjensen658]

I couldn't stand to watch the whole video because of background noise.

[@paulsq_]

That’s what happens when you have small kids. If it was when I was outside that’s the grill making the noise. I still got paid thanks for watching though.
