"Pitmaster Nick Pihakis endorses the beer-can (upright) chicken roaster as one of the best ways to cook a chicken, noting that upright roasting lets fat drip away, allows heat to surround the bird 360 degrees for crisper skin, and lets steam and vapors flavor the meat from the inside so it stays moist; the recommended model holds up to two five-pound birds and includes a pan for roasting vegetables." - Maxine Builder
