Curious on the roasting of chickens.. Do most people use things
like the roast holder that webber sells (#32915) to set the
chicken on.. (ontop of the cooking grill, above the coals)... or
do many use this device right on the charcoal spot, with charcoal
just on each side?

I do chickens one of two ways. On the rotisserie, or spatchcocked.
A spatchcocked chicken has the backbone cut out and is then opened
and laid flat on the grill. They cook faster, more evenly, and the
skin comes out nice and crispy.

Ah.. so at this point it appears most are just spreading the charcoal
trays apart,


Mine look like this........

and here's a tip. Bend the little wings over once you have the item
assembled, that way they never fall apart when you pick them up/shake
them etc.


placing the chicken up on the regular rack then.


yep. Saves arsing about.


I was thinking this little device would come in handy:

I've got one of those, and have never used it.



For a drip tray, could I just use a small "cake" type pan or similar,
as I dont really have an official drip pan.

Try these........
