Is the lid tall enough to allow the user to safely roast a beer can (vertical) chicken?

The distance between the grill grates and the inside top of the cover is approximately seven inches.

i've never done vertical chicken. the lid is curved.from the top of the curve to the grill surface, you have 10 inch clearance.of course, you'll have to remove the warming tray (which is easy). also the thermometer (mounted in the lid has a spike which sticks out into the cooking area so you'll have to move the chicken to the right of left to avoid the spike.

Yes the lid is tall enough, you do have to remove warming tray but that's no big deal. I do 2 at a time and just use one burner for indirect heat. The grill will hold 325 degrees perfectly and about an hour and 20 minutes later and a couple turns of the chicken you have perfect beer butt chicken.

The interior dimensions of the base are 13.75" X 11.5" and it is 3" deep. I approximate it would hold up to a 12-13 lb turkey. This estimate is without using the lid, which is only 2.5" tall, giving a total cooking height of about 5 inches with the lid on. 2-3 whole chickens could easily be roasted in this pan with the lid on. If you use the lid as a second cooking pan, please be aware that the sides slope a bit, so the lid is slightly smaller than the bottom pan. The lid is 11.5" X 9" at the base ---13" X 10.5 at the rim.

It shouldit isn't tall but it is for a 12 cup pot and. It works well. There should be no problem.

It's very sturdy so can take all sizes of bird. I've used it on an extra large chicken with no problems. As others here have said, the overall issue with this is the height of the chicken in the oven !

Haven't roasted chicken yet, but that's why I bought it. I called all clad, but they couldn't give me an answer about the thickness of the pan. I took it out, it's just as heavy bottomed as my other huge all clad roaster, so I'll jet you know! It's a good size for a single chicken or a turkey breast, it a 3-4 standing rib. The only thing different is the handles come out from the pan, not up. Let me know your result!

No you cannot. The lid is just a plastic cover. It is not meant for cooking. I would think it is more for keeping the legs and grill parts inside while in the carrying bag.

Yes, I'm 5 feet tall and it is too high for me to prep food on but would work well for you.

The quick answer would be no .. this is a 3 qt item which would be way too small. The All-Clad Stainless Professional Universal Steamer Insert is closer to what you need, but even then for a 6 pound-er you may have to cut up the chicken somewhat. A 6 lb chicken is a hefty bird and the lid must fit tightly on top for steaming to occur.

I don't know for sure, The only thing I would think about is the height of the lid to the food because the temp stem is about 1 1/2 inches long, so it might hit on a chicken or roast.

It's approximately 10 1/2 inches without the interior warming rack installed at the highest part of the lid. Should be tall enough..

The lid can be used 2 ways-for cooking/steaming when placed upright, and for draining when inverted. It is about as tall as a 12 oz. soda can with the lid placed in cooking (highest) position. Really like this product.

Yes. The bottom is very thick - I purchased this type because it resembles an All-Clad stock pot at a fraction of the cost. I brew beer in this and it sits on my burner on high for over 3 hours. No problems.

Not at all, the lid is much higher (I don't stick a piece of butter that tall). The only complaint would be that you may think it's too small but I'm happy with it.

Judith, I'm no great cook, and I'm probably not the one to give you any cooking advice, but I think if the roast is elevated by the "V" rack, it will cook better, all around, and, if you intend to make gravy or to use the drippings, with something like a pot roast, the elevated roast won't be swimming in its juices. Good luck.With or without the "V" rack, I'm sure your roast will be good, so enjoy it with your family or friends, and take all the credit.

Yes. Assuming on level ground, the lid will sit at an angle greater that 90 degrees.

You don't put a can in the middle of the roaster. You fill the receptacle with beer or whatever liquid you want and then put the chicken down over that. This is a really nice beer can roaster. Its heavy duty, cleans up easily and safer than putting a chicken on a can that might tip over not to mention maybe polluting your chicken by heating up whatever the can is made of and printed with.

It will allow you to cook a larger roast or bird. Gives you about 3" more height
