Well-designed unit, with typical high-quality Weber materials. Simple to use and produces a moist, tasty chicken. Clean-up is easy, although the unit is not diswasher safe. A 3.5-4.0 pound bird takes about 50 minutes at medium heat on a Weber gas grill. Cook your chickens this way and you'll never turn on the oven again to roast a bird!

This is great. If you've ever made beer can chicken, you know it's the moistest, full flavored chicken you'll ever have. This is great, you don't get the chemicals off of a beer can, that probably should never be cooked anyways. All the fat and grease doesn't go into your grill, it's collected in the bottom of the roaster, so you don't have uncontrollable flames or mess to clean up in your grill. Hold's the chicken in place, where just a beer can or beer can stand can't. Works great in both your grill or oven. I loved it so much, I bought more for Christmas gifts.

Roasting a chicken or turkey breast is so easy, you can season your feast and mount it on the roaster, kick back! We easily use this about once a week. Chicken never cooked so easy. We inject our bird with cajun seasonings or put some garlic and perhaps beer or wine in the cavity, rub the skin with peanut oil or olive oil, just plain seasoning salt sometimes. Clean up is a snap!

Very easy to use. Simply fill the aluminum cup in the tray with beer, wine, fruit juice, or some other beverage. For extra flavor, add spice as well. Place the infusion cone on top of the cup, then place the chicken on top of the infusion cone. Once the chicken is in place, put the infusion cap on top to lock in the steam. Steam cooks the chicken on the inside, heat on the outside. Chicken is tender and juicy on the inside while the skin is cooked to a golden, crispy brown. Fat and grease drain away from the chicken and collect in the bottom of the roaster instead of the grill.

To remove cooked chicken from roaster: Remove the infusion cap. Next, take a pair of tongs and go down the back side of the chicken and slide it off the infusion cone. This is easy to do since the roaster is nonstick. If your chicken is heavy, you may need to support it with a second set of tongs.

Tried the chicken and it was great. I have used the beer can but this was a lot easier. I also cooked a 7 1/2 lb Turkey breast used a cajun salt pepper rub(use only the base unit fits perfect) with the beer and some spice rub in the well). It took 2 1/2 hours on med high. Well worth the wait.

This is the best way to roast chicken on the grill - absolutely no mess. We put chardonnay and crushed garlic in the middle and it steams up through the inside of the chicken. We also rub the chicken down in olive oil and then put a rub on it - it is awesome. We have bought one for all of our kids and recommend it to all our friends. Chicken is moist on the inside and crispy on the outside, the absolute best!!!

I used my newly purchased poultry roaster for the first time today and wow! I used one of the recipies supplied with the roaster (beer was an ingredient) and I can't wait to use it again. The chicken was juicy, and the flavor was delightful! I'm very impressed with the outcome of the chicken!

We purchased this roaster for my father. He made an excellent chicken with it last weekend. It provides a nice sturdy base to set your chicken on and allows you to add veggies, beer, wine, etc very easily. I was very impressed on how it held and chicken and the ease of removing the chicken once done cooking. We have a very cheep "beer-in-the-butt" holder and the Weber Roaster was much more stable and easy to use. I do not give it 5 stars because it set the chicken so high, the lid to my fathers Weber Charcoal Grill would not fit. However, he was able to rig a smaller grill rack to sit lower in the grill and it cooked fine.
We had great chicken.

This ingenious device completely trumps its antecedent, the beer can. You can no longer just call the moist, perfectly browned, self-basted aromatic bird a "beer can chicken"; it is now a culinary touchstone.

Whether you are a NASCAR dad or an urban hipster, if you want to cook a bird on a grill, you must have one of these.

If you've ever made Beer Can Chicken then you know what a problem it is sometimes to get the chicken to sit properly on the grill with only a beer can for support.

The Weber Poultry Roaster solves this problem, and goes several steps further to result in a moist, tender and absolutely delicious chicken. This item gets 5 stars and two thumbs up!!

The pan has a well in the center to hold the beer. This by the way uses less liquid than traditional Beer Can Chicken, which leaves more of the golden nector for other purposes such as drinking for those who prefer to do so. The medieval torture looking prong device sits over the beer well and the chicken in turn sits on this. Weber includes a round cap that fits on the top of the chicken to help seal in the moisturizing juices. The pan then sits in the grill and collects the chicken drippings, thus keeping the grill cleaner. The chicken sits very securely in this pan with no chance of opening the grill to find it had fallen over.

The non-stick coated surfaces make this roaster pretty easy to clean up, especially for something that's been sitting in the grill for an hour or so.

We've used this roaster several times, and are still just as thrilled with it as we were on day 1. The chicken always comes out so moist, tender and flavorful it's hard to believe it was grilled!

I highly recommend this roaster, in fact I've even given them as gifts.
